My lab evolved over time and began with my old employer's used equipment
which I had to replace piece by piece to get to where I am now. I also may
be adding two more if I am able to get a small decent cabinet that I can
keep at my current business office. Here is what I have:
1. 2 x 2501 (Enterprise IPSec 12.2 16F/16D) - 2 Serial 1 Ethernet
2. 1 x 2509 (Enterprise IPSec12.2 16F/16D) - 2 Serial 1 Ethernet (Access
Server)
3. 1 x 2518 (IP Plus 12.0, 8F/8D) - 2 Serial 1 Ethernet 1 BRI
4. 2 x 1601 (IP Plus IPSec 12.2) - 1 Serial 1 Ethernet 1 BRI (on one only)
5. 1 x 806 (IP Plus 12.2) 2 Ethernet
6. 1 x 7010 (Service Provider 11.2) - 8 Serial, 2 Ethernet
7. 1 x 2912XL-EN (Enterprise Software)
8. 1 x ISDN Simulator
Here is what I hope to add shortly:
9. 2x2620 (Enterprise IPSec 12.2) - 1 Serial, 1 Ethernet, 4xT1 ATM IMA
I realize this setup is missing voice and a few pieces cannot do ISIS but
that is where I will just rent rack time to round out what I have....
