 Cisco 2501 Question
I bought two Cisco 2501 routers to practice on and I'm waiting for them to be shipped. When I get them, if I attach each router's AUI port to the other's, I'll have two directly connected routes correct? So is there any room in that setup for me to practice dynamic routing? If not, what else could I add... a switch? a 2514 router?

I don't think these would work too well for dynamic routing. Yes, you could connect them up as you say and configure a routing protocol. However there would be no routes learned dynamically - as the only networks would be the ethernet network which each router sees as directly connected.
If you had a 2514 then you could connect the routers in a chain:
2501------2514------2501
Each 2501 would see dynamically learned routes.
Or if you bought a cable to connect the serials of the 2501s and connected the ethernets to a switch then each router would see a dynamically learned network.
Hope this helps.....

Sure you can. You can configure multiple loopback interfaces and route between them; you could have a hundred different networks if you felt like typing it all in.

I can simulate a WAN connection with DTE and DCE cables ...
Your AUIs are ethernets, you don't need any DTE/DCE there. You'd need a serial cable between serial ports to play with WAN connections (and yes, you can configure back-to-back frame-relay).

I know the AUI's are ethernet connections. DCE and DTE cables would provide the serial link via the serial ports.
