    get a 2511, do not block your self out from adding to the lab.
    There is no place like 127.0.0.1

    well, i already have 1 2509 that has most of my equipment covered. if i can find one for a decent price (2511 under $200) i will pick it up, otherwise i'll just get another 2509 for now.

    I also i forgot to mention (i think) that i got 2x NM-4A/S for the 2650s. hopefull that module works with them, lol.


    edit:
    Im going to go ahead and pick up a 2511 and a rack, i've been eying those skeletek racks for a while now. may as well since my 12u cabinet that i built was never enouguh... :D

    All in all, i picked up:

    2x 2650 (1 128/32, 1 96/32 <will be upgraded soon)
    1x 2950
    1x 2924M XL-EN + rackmount
    1x 2511 + octal cables
    Skeletek 24u rack frame + nuts + cable management things

    All in all, i'm flippin broke now. It'll be worth it in the long run, plus, most of this i'll be able to sell back on ebay for a decent price.

    Wow. The hardest thing about buying all this at once is going to be tracking the packages and who has and hasn't sent me tracking numbers/shipping info yet.

    Nice!! I just added a a 2514 to my lab over the weekend. That puts my total at:

    2x 2501
    1x 2514
    1x Cat. 2960
    1x Cat. 3550 PoE

    Now I need a rack and a 2600 or two and a couple of other switches. lol. My 2820 just sits there and does nothing.

    nice with the switches. i don't think i'll ever be able to buy them... knowing me, i'd end up buying 5 and using paypal credit or something.

    They were gifts. The 2960 came from my Father in law (he rocks) and the 3550 from my sister fro Christmas. I almost died when i saw the invoice. rofl.

    Yes the NM-4A/S and NM-8A/S will work with 2600's

    The NM-4T will only work in 2691, or 3600's
    It will not work in any other 2600 or 2600XM (other then 2691's)
