My rack is a bit antiquated but it gets through most
of the vendor labs ok.
4500-M - ATM (OC-3), 4 Serial, Fast E
4500-M - BRI,4 Serial, 2 E
4000-M - 2 serial, 1 E
RSP7000 - 2 Fast E, 8 serial, ATM (OC-3), 6 E
2 x 2501
1 x 2503
1 x 2509
1 x 2514
2 x MC3810 w/ FXS & FXO
2 x 3104 w/2500 bootroms (great BB routers)
16 port Lantronix terminal server
ISDN simulator
Fore ASX 200 ATM switch
2924 switch
3550 switch
I am running max mem on all routers with most of them
having 12.1T code except for the 4500-Ms that have
12.2. I have found it beneficial to compare the
features side by side of say a 2500 with 12.1 T and a
2620XM with 12.2 T. I can then see the features that
I am missing and schedule time on the Cisco racks
through work to play with those commands. Just cant
justify the expense of ditching my 2500s for 2600s
right now.
