I finished my CCNP and have opened my lab to the public. I have started a free Cisco Catalyst Switch Lab of 4 switches. No reservations required. Just logon:

telnet 72.205.54.70 49001
telnet 72.205.54.70 49002
telnet 72.205.54.70 49003
telnet 72.205.54.70 49004

For network diagram and updates, go to labswitch.blogspot.com .
Let me know if you have any questions or problems.

I might add a 5th switch, but trying to keep it simple.

Thank you!

Hiya, thanks for this, im trying to connect using teraterm by telnet but its not working.

If I try to use SSH it wants log on details. Id like to use these switches. Am I doing something wrong?

cheers mate

 

Ha, dont worry i've sorted it. Read your site and obvious someone else using the lab
Thanks for this may come in useful when I move onto CCNP switch!

A nice reciprocal link would look good on your blog, you know for the exchange in traffic from CertForums.

 

Yes, I will make a list of links

 

Hi Millsie,

SSH won't work. You have to use telnet and set the port to a number from 49001 to 49004.

 

Hear hear!

Feel the cert love! :O)

 

Great stuff, i just dived on and had a play, thank you for this offering, are there any plans to throw a couple of old routers on there to make a fully comprehensive Cisco lab?

Asterix

 

That's a good question. I might, but it depends. Obviously, GNS3 covers routing, and these switches can do routing, too. I will check how low my electric bill is, I would have to get another table, etc.

I was actually thinking of a used Cat 4503 the other night, too.

 

Just an update, a couple more switches have been added to the lab.

I also have a couple of routers, 2621's, that might be added in the future. I'm studying a way of how to best use them.

IP has remained the same:

telnet 72.205.54.70 49001
telnet 72.205.54.70 49002
telnet 72.205.54.70 49003
telnet 72.205.54.70 49004
telnet 72.205.54.70 49005
telnet 72.205.54.70 49006

latest topology at Free Cisco Catalyst Switch Lab

 

2 routers have been added to the lab. There is now a tunnel to a lab site in Bucharest.

If you have some Cisco routers and switches you want to tunnel to my lab, please contact me. Thanks!
