So the last big peice of equipment that i've been trying to put together came in today, my 2950-12 is finally here! all i need now is a couple WIC-1Ts and some flash for my 3620 and i'm gold!

this brings my lab up to:

1 3620 (NM-1E2W, 1 WIC-1t 1 more needed) 64/32 soon
1 2620 (64/16 WIC-1T)
1 2520
1 2514
2 2504
2 2501

1 2950-12

Over kill? probably. thanks darby for the switch!

PS: Had to do a pw reset on this one. Figured that was too easy to make a post like we did on the "crash course" though.

No, I was just mentioning it. I already got it done. It was easy.

EDIT: Good thing you posted that though because I completely forgot a pretty important part...

conf t
config-register 0x2102

Forgot to set it back. Also, I never knew about wr before. Pretty cool short short version.

It's the older version of copy run start. I often see the old school Cisco boys around the office using it. By old school I mean the guys who know infinitely more than I do.

I like it...

man, how much did you spend on your lab? that's a little crazy but all for the better!!

IMO 'write' is superior to 'copy run start'

There's no mistyping 'copy start run' with 'write'! I remember from my CCNA bootcamp there were a bunch of people who destroyed their running-config by mistake

actually... not as much as you might think. most expensive single thing was the 2950, and after that the CCNA 3&4 book....

but:
3620 - $59
- NM-1e2w, $30
- WIC-1T, $30
2620 - $120
- WIC-1T, $30
- maxed memory, $35
2514 - $50
the rest of the 2500s + 2 CCNP books and 2 CCDA books + 9 v.35 DCE/DTE cables+ 3 transceivers + 2 consoles and a few other things - $300 (bought all together)

3x 2924 - $120
2950 - $200
1912 (bought this before i knew it wasn't going to do me any good

) - $30

a few misc things:

Rack ears for everything but the 2924s: $50ish
rack rails + screws and wood and stuff was probably $50 (still havn't built it)
300 ft of cat-5e+crimper & 100 rj-45 things = $35ish

so yeah, a good bit of money, but if this lab will get me through some of the professional level certs, i'll be fine.

oh, and the 2620, 3620, 2514, the 1912, and 2 of the 2924s were bought as a result of 2am ebay browsing. I don't really plan on adding more (Except the rack), unless i find some decent deals. Oh, i have to add flash memory for the 3600, as well as rack ears, and i want to get 2 more WIC-1Ts..

Darthn3ss

ouch, i'm special tonight.

i just erased the config on three of my routers without saving them Not really a huge deal but i didn't like the lab much. oh well, i'll skip it and come back.

markzab

We're all a little "special" seeing as how we're up at 2am on a Friday night playing with routers.

Then again, my excuse is that I'm still recovering from last night.

NetworkGod

wow, that's not bad at all! i'm surprised!

my excuse was 2 redbulls between 9:45 and 11....... (my last break and then when i got off work)

also, i've officially switched from copy run start to wr... much easier.

I've got a Cisco 3620 Series Router that's been collecting dust and a loaded Catalyst 4006 chassis if you are interested. You do need more stuff right?
