Would I need a 2511 or a 2509 router, to set up an access server for my CCNA lab? Or could I use any other model?

I would recommend the 2509-RJ or 2511-RJ and then make custom length rollover cables. -

Can
Also get other brands of serial servers- lantronix is one that comes to mindGoals CCNA by dec 2013, CCNP by end of 2014 -

OptionsDPG Member Posts: 780 ■■■■■□□□□□You would use rollover cables for this just as you would with a 2509-RJ or 2511-RJ.
The cables are easy to make. Just use 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8 to 8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1. -
