The 2511 is the term server so you are connecting to it (reverse telnet) to get to the console of your routers. The config looks very much like this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_telnet
Once VPN'd in, I can telnet to the 2511 on port 20xx. This is how I access it from home as well. In the real lab, I believe it's the same way...you are reverse telneting to a termserver to get to the console of the routers.

Id like to see the 2511 config, basically you imply you connect the VPN then can connect direct to devices without connecting to the 2511 first? Mine is setup in such a way I fisrt have to telnet to the 2511 (I find ssh puts a strain on it) the use the menu I created.
For power I use http://www.apc.com/resource/include/techspec_index.cfm?base_sku=AP9565 - This is the UK version but Im sure U/S one available too, with todays power prices this is a very good buy! I did have some dangerous thing from avoynisis before but it worked on some relay mechanism and kept blowing the relay.

IOS supports EasyVPN server. Here's how I do it:
Internet Provider---HFC---Cable Modem -> Linksys -> Cisco831 -> Cisco2511 -> console of devices in my rack
Configure EasyVPN server on the Cisco831 or any IOS box. Permit UDP port 500 and 4500 on the Linksys (and enable VPN passthrough). Install Cisco VPN client on your remote computer.
Once VPN'd in, just fire up multiple SecureCRT windows as if you were home.
I would love to get a managed power supply :-). What APC model do you recommend? Any other alternatives to remotely powering up my rack?

I use a Cisco 871W with a dynamic IP from my ISP and then DynDns to do
the host name mapping. I then SSH into the 871 and then telnet onto my
APC's which fire up the routers, from there - I can telnet to a Cisco
2511 and access the entire rack. Works perfect for me over the past 2-3
years. No issues.
