<br>
Does anyone have any older Cisco routers kicking around spare, they might be willing to lend out ?<br>
<br>
I have recent taken some interest in learning about Cisoc IOS and routing and found some excellent tutorials on the subject.<br>
<br>
Not entirely sure what I am looking for, but it will certainly be Cisco hardware (as distinct from an x86 platform and extra NICs).<br>
<br>
Also, any recommendations for a low cost PCI NIC which supports VLANs.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
