Hi Friends,

I want to practice JNCIP & JNCIE and wanna build my own lab. I have few question regarding my LAB.

1:- How many routers i would need if I wanna do both LABs
2:- Does J-Series Routers supports Logical Routers ( Systems)
3:- can I practice all the technologies on J-Series Routers

sorry forgot to mention I am doing M-series

thanks in advance for all your comments.

    1: - The sybex books for the IP and the IE labs cover 7 internal and I believe 5 external routers. Sooo if you could get your hands on 7 j series and use olives for your external routers you should be good to go.

    2: - nope, j-series do not support logical routers, I really really wish they did.

    3: - yup, you can do everything that is found in the IP and IE sybex books on the J series routers. As far as technologies go the one thing they are missing is being able to configure VPLS, but that's not covered in either the IP or the IE :)

    HTH

    why did you pick some m7i's? when you can get a couple of m40s?
    do you have any specific reason? ;)

    and the answer : .....

    service interface !!! icon_lol.gif

    :D

    and, after getting those 2 m7i's - you'll probably can get rid some of those j's around the house so it save save the electric bill? icon_lol.gif

    i'd love to have those also, if you dont mind of course ;)
    so, i heard that cisco is your next journey,
    would you care for some exchange? those j's for some 3560s? i think the ratio is about 3j : 1c, fair enough? ;)

    hahahaha icon_lol.gif

    lol, i'd probably keep all the routers running and watch the power bill climb! icon_lol.gif

    Yes indeed I want to make myself invaluable by having both Juniper and Cisco knowledge/certs. Would have a pretty serious lab going there if I built it up with Cisco's too, I can just imagine my power bill then...icon_surprised.gif

    ok, so you want to keep all of them which is nice :)

    couple of m-series, some j's and some cisco's on the lab.
    btw, did not i tell you that i've bought a php book the other day?
    imagine that dynamic flashy yet powerful website saying : "Aldur Inc. Home Rack Rental"
    create some automatic user registration & lab space scheduler,
    wow, that sounds fun icon_lol.gif
