CCNP Lab recomendations
|

| Hi all,
Starting in January I am going to embark on the CCNP track.
Does anyone have any recomendations for Lab equipment?
I already have 1 x 2501, 1 x 2516 & 1 x 801.
Also, is there a way to connect two ISDN routers together without an
expensive ISDN simulator (it is actually cheaper to have two BRI lines
installed than shell out 00s for a simulator)
Thanks
Stu

For basic isdn connectivity testing one BRI should be enough in theory,
but somehow cisco boxes don't like it when they have to share the isdn
line with other devices. For more advanced experiments like load
balancing and bandwidth on demand you need more than one line.
You could try to find some secondhand soho pabx here in europe. isdn
is cheap and everywhere here, and this is also true for the equipment.
