setting up CCNA hardware lab?

ciscodisco

I've recenty got hold of 5 2500 series routers, 2 1900 series switches and one 2900 series switch and one 4000 series(for FR). I need to know some of the LAB examples that I should use to setup a practice lab for CCNA exam. If anyone can point me to the right direction, it would be greatly appreciated.

I want to create a saperate network and use a DLINK router to connect it to my home network (perhaps through wireless?).

I don't know if it would work(don't see any reason, why it wouldnt?)

DLINK Router
LAN: 172.16.10.1
LAN DGW: 172.16.10.1
WAN: 192.168.102.9
WAN DGW: 192.168.102.1

Router A

E0 (connects to the lan interface on Dlink Router) - 172.16.10.2
S0 - 172.16.20.1
LAN DGW: 172.16.10.1

Router B

S0 (connects to S0 on Router A) - 172.16.20.2
E0 - 172.16.30.1
S1 - 172.16.40.1 (connects to S0 on Router C)
LAN DGW: 172.16.10.1

Router C

S0 (connects to S1 on Router B ) 172.16.40.2
E0 - 172.16.50.1
LAN DGW: 172.16.10.1

I want to access this setup through my PC which is in the 192.168.102.0 network using telnet and configure DLINk router to forward telnet session/port to the E0 interface on Router A.

Would this work?

thanks

That setup should work, you may have to use router A as a jumping point to the rest of your cisco devices. As far as practice labs go, you should be able to fine some via ccna cisco press books.
You can also find lab examples on CCO.

I am trying to setup this further so I can establish telnet sessions from outside over the internet to the Router A, B and C.

Since, 192.168.102.0 subnet's Default Gateway is 192.168.102.1 (which is a LINKSYS router > to the Internet).

I've configured the linksys (102.1) to forward pot 23 to 192.168.102.9 (the DLINK routers WAN interface) and then forward port 23 from it to 172.16.10.2 Router A. I can't seem to get it to work properly.

Linksys (102.1) router pings fine to 102.9 but it all pings and tracert fail when trying to get to 172.16.10.0 subnet.

Any ideas, why linksys (192.168.102.1) wouldn't be able to ping Router A (172.16.10.2)? How should it be configured? Advanced routing?

thanks
