Me thinks its time for your school to do a little upgrading.
Yes yes, I know.
The other classroom that I was referring to also has 2811s and also some Catalyst 3560s. Why they're not in the main networking lab and still in that one classroom, I'm not quite sure.
Oh yeah, that picture is at ECPI College of Technology in Virginia Beach. -

I have a few more pictures of our lab equipment that I'm going to post soon. What I posted before was only a section of our lab.

These are some very inspiring labs! So much so that I just got mine for my CCNA studies:
2650 Router 64D/16F 2 Serial Ports, 1 Fast Ethernet Port
2650 Router 64D/16F 2 Serial Ports, 1 Fast Ethernet Port
2650 Router 64D/16F 2 Serial Ports, 1 Fast Ethernet Port
2950 Switch 24 Fast Ethernet Ports, 2 Gigabit ports
2950 Switch 24 Fast Ethernet Ports, 2 Gigabit ports
2511 Access Server
Will take a pic when the wife gets back with the camera.
Would like to see some topology maps and the software used to create them as well. I know they change while playing, but it helps get the big picture view of the network.

Bear with me. I have a whole series of pictures that I'm about to post. It may take about 2 or 3 posts to post them all.

Here are pictures of the full Networking Lab. The picture I posted earlier with me in it was only one section of it.

Moving my equipment into my new (mostly finished) office in the basement. I had sold most of my gear because I was able to bring half of this home from work when it was no longer in production.
1-3560
2-2950
1-2511 Access Server
2-2801
2-2821
4-2501
I should be adding another 3560 and a 3750 when summer is over and possibly an ASA 5510 and a 2106 WLANC this fall. Those fringe benefits are nice sometimes.

Geek1969, that looks pretty awesome. Hopefully I'll be able to put together a nice home lab. So far all I have are two 2610XMs so I still have some more stuff I'll be needing to get.

What is the problem? No let me guess
1. someone stole your cables.
2. You need more rack space but you have a low ceiling
3. You have gained a few pounds and you can't slide by the rack to open the door and you have run out of food.
4. Your significant other/roommate/mom/dad/sibling says this thing has got to go
5. All of the above Who knows what evil lurks in the heart of technology?... The Shadow DO -

Or 6. His favorite tea cup and saucer are inside that cupboard!:)
I usually hang out on 224.0.0.10 (FF02::A) and 224.0.0.5 (FF02::5) when I'm in a non-proprietary mood.

ugh these pictures with those cables all over the place...
Things get a little messy when you're working. Show me a neat lab, I'll show you a neglected lab. -

Most labs have wires everywhere. Velcro One-Wrap can help tidy things up. Or use cable ties (the ones without the locks unless you're sure the wiring is permanent). -

I make my cables pretty if im going to be using the same setup for a while or if we'll be having guests over or something like that. Otherwise to heck with it.WGU BS IT - Security

Here's mine. Homemade rack, bought everything else for dirt cheap. The 3660 at the Goodwill for $5, the 1600's at a yard sale for a few bucks, the 3620's for $20 each. Switches were cheap.
The Dell servers were $50. For 18 of them. I picked a few and put as much RAM as I could and put Linux on one and Windows on the other. I have a few spare. The firewall is an empty case - parts incoming for a pfSense box.

OK, here's my lab in progress (new member, first time poster):
The unit at top is a Cyclades TS-2000 I picked up on eBay. The rest of the equipment:
2x Fast Hub 400
3x 2950-24 Switch
1x 3640
1x 2621
1x 2501
1x 2505
1x 3620
1x 4000 (yup, but I'm looking to replace it!!)
I'm currently patching the term server into the console ports on all the devices. I also made a web page to access everything:
The icons are clickable and launch putty either to the loopback interface or to the console (via the term server). Can also see the up/down reachability from my main network.
Still to do:
- integrate remote power switch (so I can turn on/off remotely)
- install ISDN simulator & POTS simulator
- purchase & install a 1U poweredge for virtual machines (one on each segment, with a few on the switches, I purchased a Silicom 6-port ethernet card for it)
- manage all the cables
And, finally, here is the entire rack including my "production" home network.
Already passed the CCNA, going to do the two Linux ones next, then on to CCNP/CCDA!!! Hope I didn't OVERSHARE on my first post...

Probably because every rack for sale on ebay is labeled as a "Cisco Rack" rather than the name of the manufacturer. Try here:

hmmm Are you saying not a thumbnail? They get created when you uploadJust use the img command in square brackets surrounding the url of the image followed by the closing img command in square brackets. Just quote one of the messages above with a full picture and look at the commands. You can put your image on someplace like imageShack.com for free

CyberNBD if you need a scheduling server and login control via ldap or db,
could try SAHARA Labs - Browse Files at SourceForge.net
Its java based for running remote labs with scheduling , booking etc
You would still need to modify one of the rig clients to control access to the lab.
I work for the group that wrote it, except I do a bit of the hardware
