Free Cisco Catalyst Switch Lab

I've setup my Linux system, running Scientific Linux and ser2net, as a terminal server for my Cisco switches.

Logon and have fun!!

Does anyone use Cisco these days...

[Irithori]

Quite common in datacenters, last time I looked

Yes, Cisco is the defacto standard in the USA.

The free lab now has 6 switches (4 of them L3 capable), and can be used to simulate Cisco's 3 layer model: access, distribution, and core.

I don't think I will add anymore. I might add some 2621 routers as part of a routing tunnel lab. My Linux host might be part of this lab to provide a tunnel, but I have to look into the security, firewall, etc.

2 routers have been added to the lab. There is now a tunnel to a lab site in Bucharest.

If you have a UNIX host, some Cisco routers or switches you want to tunnel to my lab, please contact me. Thanks!
