greetings to all-
I have been tasked with [helping] to build a test-bed...that will latter be converted into a full-blown lab. The purpose is so I will be able to test/troubleshoot used Cisco products [for integrity purposes] prior to being re-sold (nice job- er what!!!??)
My question to you is this:
How might it be possible to simulate a WAN link while interconnecting Cisco devices, w/out the connectivity? I will be using the equiptment to help study for both the CCNP/CCDP/CCIE exams as well. I would like to have some way to at least simulate traffic going across; ATM, frame-relay, serial, etc.
Any input on the shopping list would also be appreciated. So far...computers w/NIC's, AC/DC power supply, ocilloscope, signal generator, multi-meter, varitey of interface cards and misc. cables. Also, if anyone could provide me w/a list of 'must have' items for a Token Ring... that would be great.
thanks for any input-
