Subject: Mac Mini Dynamips Server w/ USB-Eth Converters and Physical
3560-8PC Switches

I guess it was last weekend or so when I posed the question of how to
integrate physical switches and a Dynamips server for IEWB
topologies. Brian Dennis chimed in and suggested using a Mac Mini
(w/ 2 BG RAM, default is only 1 GB, and a 2 GHz Duo Core proc) and a
bunch of USB-Eth converters, which I thought was downright
ingenious. So I ordered the Mini and went out and bought a couple of
USB hubs and a mess of converters. I thought I ordered the switches
too, but that's another story. Anyway, for anyone interested in my
experiences thus far, see this post on the board:

I'm happy to try to answer any questions, with the understanding that
I don't yet have the switches (shooting for Tues now). I do at least
have Dynamips up and running on the Mini, and the above should give a
good feel for performance on this machine.
Regards all,
Scott
