Free Cisco Catalyst Switch Lab

Lanswitcher

My home Cisco lab now has 8 switches and routers. I am sharing it to the world. You can prepare for CCNA or CCNP with it.

Stuff like this makes me consider slowly removing my physical lab at home and lab from the cloud.

Wow I just got on 4 devices cool is their that few of us?
Having the access of the IP address, that is a very big bonus!

thank you

EDIT:

Lanswitcher, could you enlighten us/me, about your Lab Console Status Page; what is the progam that does this automatic update.

Your terminal server is a PC acording to your documentation, could you post a config from your linux server?

Thanks so much. I am a broke, father of 2, CCNA wannabee and this will help me out tremendously. I plan to pay it forward when I get my career established.

Thanks again,
Gene

Actually, I'd be interested in setting up a remote lab for others to use in the future as well.

I don't have the necessary equipment yet.

But yea, I'd love to know more about getting an automated scheduling system working. And one of the features it could use is wipe/reset after every session, so that the next person in line won't get stuck with a previous config.

First of all, thanks a lot for your efforts and generosity.

I have two questions and it would be great if you can update me with the answers:
1) Since you are planning to upgrade the 3550 to 3560 switches, when are you planning to upgrade them?
2) Can you add a link from each router to both of the 3560 and 3750 switches, because sometimes the 3560 and the 3750 switches are available and the routers also available, but we cannot practice on them together.

Thanks again.

Best Regards,
Nader
