Useful Addition to Lab or Not?

Hi All,

We have acquired a 2503 router from a customer which I am considering adding to my lab of 1 x 2620 and 1 x 2621xm routers/2 x 2950 switches.

Will this be of any use? Can it be used as frame relay switch? Not got that far in the books yet so this may be a stupid question. It has 2 serial ports 1 x aui with transceiver.

Thanks all.

Ian.

Yes, it's basically a 2501 with one extra port (for ISDN). You already have the transceiver, so you're good to go.

Yes, but not for multipoint. You would also need to have serial cards in your 2600's.
