New Dynamips Server
Nov 7th
Dell was running a deal on the PowerEdge T110 a couple weeks ago, so I decided to grab one as an upgrade to the T100 I was currently using for Dynamips on ESX.
Server specs:
X3430 Xeon Processor, 2.4 GHz 8M Cache
4GB DDR3 1333 RAM
500GB HDD
The T110 doesn’t support ESX (yet?), so I just did a straight install of Ubuntu 9.10. This thing is a beast, I brought up the completed MPLS and BGP lab I posted awhile back. Running at full steam it’s only using ~25% of the CPU. I’m pretty excited. This should be able to handle anything I can throw at it. Now I just need to find some more CCIE labs…
Update: ESXi is now supported on the T110 as of the ESXi4 U1 release.
Great MPLS and BGP Lab
Oct 12th
I got this over at Networking-Forum.com, a member named Fred created it, he was even kind enough to provide the Visio diagram, IP scheme spreadsheet and, most importantly, the .net file for Dynagen/GNS3. I spent a lot of my Saturday working on this beast. I thought I should share it here as it is great practice for MPLS VPNs and BGP along with some OSPF, NAT, IPSEC and GRE exposure.

* The two Internet routers should serve as transit AS’s. No other routers should permit transit traffic.
* Internet sites (modeled by loopbacks) should be accessible by all lan IP’s.
