Ha, I should've used a better choice if words. "Trash it" (referencing my lab) as in make messy; e.g. use it. The Digi is not going anywhere

Then by all means, TRASH it!

I took a pic to show someone the 12u rack I was using, so I thought I would post it here as well.

3x Cisco 2811 Routers, 2x Cisco 2950 Switches and Cisco 3560 PoE Switch in a 12u rack with a 8 outlet rackmount power strip.

The one thing I would like to change in my rack/s is the power strips, to have mine like yours. Having the option to power which device on/off is nice. Sometimes when I am labbing, I don't want the entire rack on.

But, since I have what I have, I will have to deal with it.

I got it off of Amazon, its about $25.00. The only thing its missing is a master off switch, but thats not really a big deal.

I still need to figure out what modules to install, but not too bad for stuff just laying around the office.

Finally getting around to posting my lab. Currently using it for CCNP studies and so far it has done me well. I use a mix of this lab and GNS3, which so far has met all of my needs. Going to add an ASA when I go for security.

PSP: Don't mind the weights LOL. Have no way to bolt this to the floor in my apartment. I need to figure out another way to counter-weight because I would really like to use my dumbbells again.

When I moved a couple years ago, I found a cheap used 4 Post 32U rack on Craigslist to replace the 2 poster I had previously.

Ideally this is what I want. I have been holding off until I move though. I currently live on the 3rd floor of an apartment complex with very narrow halls and stairways that makes moving anything up here a PITA.

Wow, Snadam I don't think I have ever seen a Juniper rack before ! If you don't mind me asking how much did it cost you ?

Heres a photo of my lab I am currently using for my CCENT/CCNA studies.

With the extra gap in the top, I may mount a Synology RS814 NAS Server for backups.

2 x Cisco Catalyst 2960-24TT-L
4 x Cisco Catalyst 3560-24TS (IP Services)
1 x Dell PowerEdge 1950 (Produces Too Much Heat and Sounds Like a Jet Engine, So It Sits Unused)

The rest is infrastructure (Firewall, VPN, etc...). The TiVo is not part of my lab. I just needed somewhere to hook it up to the network.

Damn, you really need to sell something! And here was me wondering if adding two more switches to give me five each switches and routers was a bit much.

I've accumulated way too much equipment over time. I'm hoping to sell off most everything except about 4-6 routers, 6 switches, 2 Servers, 4 Firewalls, and 6 Wireless APs.

MAC_Addy

Bump! Anyone else got any good/updated pictures of their lab? Unfortunately I had to sell mine a while back.

hurricane1091

So, I have a lab at work. It's beyond excessive. I've used it for the CCNP and on-going CCIE, but I use it often to lab out real-world scenarios for work before we do things/change things (QoS, DMVPN, BFD, just to name a few).

I don't even know what's all here at this point. Top router is a terminal server, which is great. All in all there's like 5 3945s, 2 3650s, 5 3560s (1 is just a lab gateway), 3 2811s, and a 3750. A phone, and a computer. I have firewalls I could add in (and probably will at some point).

On wheels and fully mobile. When I'm labbing I can put it outside of my room so I can maintain silence

I can barely configure the switches............still studying

I wish I didn't sell my rack a few years ago! Getting back into the CCNP studies and have some switches coming my way. Does anyone know of where I can get a decently priced network (wall mount) rack from? I'm looking for 12u or 16u.

CiscoNet Solutions

F.Y.I,

Packet Tracer is free and allows for more complex topologies. in addition it supports switches, routers, firewalls and wireless.

IOS upgrades are available as well.

What is Cisco Packet Tracer?

Packet Tracer is a network simulator available from Cisco that provides a virtual lab environment for CCNA candidates. The network simulator enables the candidate to configure, verify and troubleshoot network designs based on Cisco devices. Packet Tracer simulates the same IOS software and configuration as the physical devices. All lab guides include Packet Tracer ready labs to configure, verify and troubleshoot.

Download Packet Tracer

Cisco now provides a link to download Packet Tracer that is available with the free one hour course on Packet Tracer fundamentals. The free course is available at the following link.
