Lab question

I am going to have some administor work for a customer with Cisco devices therefore I am looking for some lab to practice in advance.

I looked at some virtual racks like ipexpert or ccie4u. They are all great but there is one thing I do not understand : they all show all kinds of connected devices but I do not see any PC in the diagram. After all, in real world, I need to connect the PCs/laptops to the system to access the Internet or the internal network. Without these items, how can I test if my VPN connection is good, or if the firewall is set correctly.

Thanks for your advice,

DT

For the most part, you can just use a router as a PC. You can telnet to port 80 for example.

Yes, currently I am using that for testing but I still think an extra PC or Linux box may be more helpful.

Perhaps. But then it adds more complexity. i.e. vnc (or like) capable PC exposed to the Internet.
