    I think it's Microsoft Visio.

    It is MS Visio, it is very good for creating a whole range of network diagrams. Also most network vendors provide huge stencil collections so you can add their products to your neat diagram's.

    I saw those Skele Tek racks on ebay. Are they pretty sturdy? I need a rack and an access server to finish my lab.
    There is no place like 127.0.0.1 BUT 209.62.5.3 is my 127.0.0.1 away from 127.0.0.1!

    Those racks own! VERY sturdy... Moderately priced for what you get. I just cant find them on eBay anymore and the website is pretty much down bc half the links don't work. I emailed them this morning but so far no response...

    hmmm.I got the seller's ID saved, maybe I'll try to contact them and see if they will put some more on ebay.

    did you know that your setup is almost exactly the same as mine, only i don't have a surge arrest, and i have 3 2924s and a 2950-12 (my 2924's are like your top one.)
    Fantastic. The project manager is inspired.

    Awesome! Yeah the 2924s are going to be replaced by some 2950s next... :)
    I LOVE the APC too... helps with the cabling. Keeps the equipment safe in case of a storm and I love the one switch to turn everything on... Yeah I am THAT lazy.. lol

    the bottom router is a 3620 that needs memory... and below that was the case for my server.

    Darthness...

    Your case/rack... is that homemade? or did you get that somewhere?

    I like that look, and it would suit my basement.

    Where did you get the fiber modules for the 2924's? Expensive?

    Anyways that looks awesome. You could practice a lot of topics with that topology. STP, VLAn,VTP,port based security, routing protocols in a broadcast network. The works as far as L2.

    Well my lab is allot more modest than most of you guys but it's a start:
    RouterLab.sized.jpg
    I have a 12 port 2950 that I haven't added to the stack yet and just today I finished making loop-back plugs for the 2 ethernet ports of the 2600's. The top router is a 2502, then a 2610, and at the bottom is a 2612 with a nice 8 port serial card I managed to get at a decent price on Ebay. I hope to buy another 2950 here soon (other one I have is checked out from work) so I can play with those and eliminate the loop-back plugs from the routers.

    Thanks, my home made wood rack could be a little beefier but it works ok. That's a nice setup Mark.

    I got it off ebay. The guy is currently not selling anymore but I think the store will be up shortly, end of the month or so... Mine was ~120 shipped if I remember correctly.
