I'm interested in two of the cisco 2500 routers, if you're willing to let two go to one person. I'll be writing my CCNA in September and won't have equipment to play with after mid-August.
Unless someone will let me play with their Cisco equipment at work :)
Now to find a couple old Cisco switches...

I may be interested in the wifi dishes. Would they be suitable forconnecting to my d-link (N) router? I realise they are for point to point transmission/reception. Other than that, what are their capabilities?
I'll forward your original message to another geek friend who is abit of a collector.
Later Mike

I would like an old Alpha capable of running OpenVMS. Just to keep my skills up. I bid on a contract a few years ago to replace an old VAX with a new model system; didn't get it simply because I wasn't American. But I doubt they would find anyone with 1989 certification for VMS. The MicroVAX is pre-Alpha (I remember administering a 3000 series), but can your Digital Server run OpenVMS? I have a CD with VMS Alpha 7.2-2 OS binaries.
As for old PCs, I volunteer with Mike Pfaiffer at a computer lending library. They could use any P4 PCs.
By the way, what is a "Laboratory tube PSU, variable 200-325V 0.1A"?

Rob: will speak with you later today
Mike/Sean: will check the number of dishes and condition and let you know
Mark: I don't have many ATX power supplies without the leaky-capacitor issues (or that are a quality brand). I'm about to recycle pretty complete < P4 systems; since you can buy used P4s today for ~100$ I don't think it's worth the time to deal with anything less. If you are available right away I can arrange for you to come here and pick what you want.
Also have the following: -metal box with ~5u rack inside -2U 8-outlet power switch with ethernet remote control -4x cisco 2500 routers -HP Advancestack 2000 switch, redundant PSU, 12x 10mbit, 2x 100mbit, 4x 100VG -Heathkit 10-4015 Oscilloscope, 10mhz?

Note it's an older model, don't think it has HTTP, likely only telnet or SNMP. I got it from someone on this list. Are you close to St.B right now?

Kat, Are you aware of the gns3 app (Graphical Network Simulator, v3) which emulates/simulates a network of Cisco devices? I've also heard of a Cisco 7200/7600 VM that runs on i386 hardware.
For the first one: http://www.gns3.net/ And the second: http://www.ipflow.utc.fr/index.php/Cisco_7200_Simulator
They both appear to use the same underlying technology, I haven't actually tried either of them yet.
I'm sure there are a few people on this list who'd be be willing to provide the necessary IOS images, privately. (i.e. DON'T just hit reply! It's still technically piracy, even for Cisco students!)
I might be able to get my hands on some old Cisco switches... not sure if they've already gone to the great static bag in the sky or not...

If you're going to go the dynamips route (link #2) then look at Dynagen... http://www.dynagen.org/ is a python wrapper for dynamips, which lets you write simple config files to build your network instead of trying to do it with command line options.
That said, if you can get your hands on a couple of 2501s and some old CSU/DSU units, you can practice loopback testing on T1s. Admittedly, this is becoming less and less of a valuable skill.

As already mentioned on this thread, GNS is really worth looking into.
I recently set it up and ran it under Linux and I was quite happy with it. It's a bit tricky to get going but I submit that if you can't get GNS working, you're _really_ going to struggle with Cisco.
As for the IOS files; you can get a huge collection of IOS files via bittorrent. Not that I'm advocating copyright violations but as long as this is strictly for education use with GNS I don't think Cisco would mind too much.
