I've invested in another DCE/DTE cable and some power cords so that I can get my lab fully set up but I forgot just how much of a pain my old 4000 series is.

It's been that long since i've used it that I have no idea what the configuration is on it and the console port is... DB25.

When you go to the cisco website to see what they have to say about the old 4000, they say:

Goodluck with your exam.

 

Well i've had it for a couple of years and in it's defense it has 8 BRI ISDN ports, 4 Serial, 2 RJ45 Ethernet and 2 AUI Ethernet so it's pretty versatile
