By this stage, we have covered the basics of TPC/IP
operation, how to use the Cisco router user interface, and how to
change addresses on router ports. What we are going to do is to set
up a lab for purposes of experiment. If you want to do this
yourself, you need three Cisco 2500-series routers, a hub, and what
is known as a Cisco DTE/DCE cable. (We will define a DTE and DCE,
and explain their importance, later in this section.) This is a
minimal set of equipment, which allows us to do meaningful work
without the need to dedicate a high-end router to this
task. |
