Got the cabling done. In this picture the term server is missing since I had to return it to CiscoKits so they can send a “new” one, and therefore the Octal cabling isn’t shown, but the rack is pretty much in it’s “final” shape. It should be noted, I’ve moved things around just a little bit since this picture (not very noticeably though). I’ve gone back to verifying my IOS versions are straight before I start configuring the backbone routers. My frame switch is 100% configured and all PVC’s operational, but I’ve got 6 routers to upgrade the IOS on, (3) 2500′s, and (3) 2600′s. The 2600′s currently are running 124-5 IOS, so that’s not that bad, but I’d like to run the exact same IOS as INE, which is Adventerprisek9, 124-10a. The 2500′s need to be upgraded, since they’re running 11.X (forgot exactly what they were running, I’ve already upgraded one, but have two left to do)…they don’t support IPv6 with the older version, so that’s definitely a must. Anyway, I’m hoping that I’ll finish all of the IOS upgrades tonight and be able to start labbing tomorrow.
