Oops... I really forgot to mention the FR switch. Yes, it is too included.
It is a 2522 with 10 serial ports. The terminal server is a 2511 with 16
async ports.
My worry is that Cisco has changed the lab equipment as follows:
2621 series routers - IOS 12.3 mainline Enterprise Basic (To be removed
November 13, 2006.)
3640 series routers - IOS 12.3 mainline Enterprise Plus (To be removed
November 13, 2006.)
3725 series routers - IOS 12.4 mainline Advanced Enterprise Services
3825 series routers - IOS 12.4 mainline Advanced Enterprise Services
Catalyst 3550 series switches running IOS version 12.2 IP Services
Catalyst 3560 Series switches running IOS version 12.2 - Advanced IP
Services
If I buy 3640 routers which are the major portion of the deal, will that be
a worthwhile investment?. The 3725 and 3825 are too expensive for me.
Alternatively, will it be cost effective if I buy them on a piece-meal
basis? I see some of them are sold (new!) at e-bay from $ 175.
Regarding the 3 backbone routers: Will 2600 suffice?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Ananth
