RE: Regarding CCIE Lab

Thanks for the info. I connected Dynamips routers with real switches via
breakout switch. All works OK except CDP. Sh cdp neigbor does not show
anything. Do I have to enable somehow CDP on server's NIC? I use Ubuntu.
Thanks.

FAisal,

I will give you the following link on 7200hacki website. It is better to
use 5 switches, (1 being a breakout switch), and the one PC NIC than a bunch
of NIC's on the PC.

Use the direction in this post and you will successfully be able to do what
you are looking for.

In Dynamips if you use 7200VXR routers with the NPE-G1 or NPE-400 you can do
100% of anything you would want to do in ISR routers as well. Dynamips will
have strange quirks where things may not function as you expect at times but
for the most part it is a very solid tool to use for your studies.
