Hello group,

We are looking to rent a cisco lab rack.

The purpose of the rental is to train some of our staff on Cisco CLI.

Our requirements:
1) SSH or TELNET access to each routers CLI.
2) SNMP access, we should be able to check for interface status,
get traps when interfaces go down, etc.

Any recommendations ?

Best Regards,
Vivek Rajan

to be up to date:

Why not download a copy of Dynamips/Dynagen, it's a real router emulator
that uses real Cisco IOS images for the 7200 series. Training CCIEs use
this for their labs if they don't want to fork out the money for a full lab.

Just do a google search for dynagen and dynamips.

If you need an image, download IOS hunter and you will find one very easily.

Regards

I just installed Dynamips/Dynagen, and seems to work fine. And one question
for you, have many RAM do I need if I wanna to run 4-5 virtual routers (in
CCNP lab environment: OSPF and EIGRP are using lots of CPU and MEM in their
calculations).

I have six 7200's running with 160mb of ram each and on a system with 2gb
of ram and sure it would run fine with 1.5gb. Thing with Dynamips/Dynagen
is that you can run it on multiple PCs and bridge labs together, since it
allows you to bridge a virtuals router interfaces with a physical
interface on the PC.
