tough to get the home lab started...Here's the problem.
Problem 1: I only see "clock rate 6400" command on s0 of middle2520, why? cause I also set up the "clock rate 6400" on s1 of middle2520 and s0 of top2520?
Problem 2: I only see the serial connection between middle2520 and bottom2520 is "up & up", others are "up & down", what cuases that?
Confusion 1: Notice the configuration below. the middle2520 has a "service config" at the beginning while the other two don't have. I just bought these routers. I guess this explains why I see wired stuff interrupted me while typing config on middle2520. what do i need to do to get rid of that?
Confusion 2: what's "partition flash 2 8 8"? is it good?
I didn't have these problems while using NetSim, so u see, a real lab is 'real'.
