[TUTORIAL] CCENT Test Lab

With considerable help from Arden (http://www.ardenpackeer.com), I could have this sweet virtual Cisco lab up and running.
Following is the Dynamips .net file. Due to limitations of windows, I have to split the routers across two seperate processes. Chewing up that much RAM in one process does not make Windows very happy at all. The computer I am running is my lenovo X60(6365CTO) laptop. It a dual core 1.6GHz with 2 GB RAM and even this gets a little sluggish running all eight of the required routers.

The batch files you will need are elsewhere on the site.

Incidentally, this configuration file will work equally well for both the CCENT and ICND2 courses. Different running configs are required, but this .net file will work as the physical infrastructure for both courses.
