Cisco Home Lab 2900 Series Routers ISR-G2 MPLS LDP BGP OSPF LSP CCNA CCNP CCIE

what's going on YouTube as I stated before I wanted to do an updated video on my upgraded home Cisco lab it's pretty nice I've got one of these is our generation 2 routers here it's a they're mostly uh 2900 one's got a couple 29 11s and one 29 21 here just wanted to give you an idea of the devices themselves how I'm using them and then a couple a couple shoutouts to some of the content creators that inspire me and that helped me to pass my Cisco certifications you see here I'm running up I've got 5 layer 3 switches for 35 sixties 13750 G here and there they're running as my customer site so I have them all attached to my PE routers here so I got 5 PE routers I [Applause] pretty much I've established a label switch path across my core so I've got 17 routers here running a MPLS and then on the 5 PE routers that those are establishing an Indian label switch path so it's multi label switch path through a BGP address families but I'm running a IG P so I'm running a OSPF with LD P and then bgp plus labels so it's a basically multiple label switch path from an indiana cross my MPLS cord here pretty cool stuff you know it's a unified MPLS carrier supported carrier and then option sees what I've been working on but here's another shot of Mike topology there so I've got a my MPLS core I've got 17 routers and like I said five five customer sites we're at the Pease the peas are all Indian label switch path through a BGP address families and then I have vrf set up through OSPF facing with the different processes facing the customers and that's how they appear with the customers is through OSPF but pretty neat pretty fun and really enjoy it let me just get uh get some introductions here on the routers themself so here we go we have my bottom router which is really nice router they're all really nice but it's at 29 2002 rack you the twenty nine twenty ones are really deep the twenty nine eleven s not nearly as deep despite being the same rack you but you can see the little little DSP module right there the little light in the middle there's four your PB dm3 so uh and then I have a couple of four fxo port there so this is one of my my voice routers that I use but I I have the voice uh the UC license enabled on all my router so I can turn them all on the CME call managers so one of the really great things about these two rack you the 29:11 s and the 2921 you went that 2950 ones which i don't have but i've got three of these 29 11s and one 29 21 is that they've got they've got three gig ports and just that one extra gig core it's really nice it's really nice so i've got a bunch of these 29 on ones they only have two gig ports but uh twenty on 11:29 twenty one's got to love them and then i have pretty much all of my router set up with a bunch of these v wick to MF to MF t multi-trunk our multiflex trunk t1 cards here to you know create the lan port density and then you can also do all of your audio all of your layer two encapsulations like frame relay and hdl-c a PPP so aaaand over these serial links so on pretty much all my routers they're all run in the latest iOS so it's a 15-7 REO iOS I've got all of them maxed out with 22.5 gigatron they all of them have the four main licenses activated so the the IP base that you see the security and the data licenses so I can setup by IP sex on them all I can set up seeing me on them all I can set up my LD P MPLS label switch path across them all the pretty nice routers and like I said I've got a bunch of these view with two to MFT cards in these routers here and this middle router here I've got four of these view ik to cards and that's usually the one I use as my frame relay switch when I'm doing that so definitely pretty nice here so I've got a couple of these here so I've got this router here is running a it's actually really nice router it's got a a wick it's an e wicks da e SG P so it's powered over Neath the net so it has the little module on the card itself or power over Neath in it and then the router itself has the the POV power supply as well I've got a similar setup on this CMU router here but it's the H week for es w card with the p OE e power it's got the router itself 2901 also has the p OE power supply as well so you need both you need the card you need the card that supports p OE and then you need the power supply itself to support p OE and so is what i did here is i have a couple of these little of these uh 99 71 video phones these video conference phones here and so I have them set up I've got a couple come in here because I wanted to set up a video conference bridge this this 2001 I know one as a video conference bridge and in order to do that you need a minimum of a PV dm3 1:28 so if the DSP is a digital signal processor you need a 128 to set up a video conferencing bridge I was able to set up a point-to-point video it wasn't a conference but a video call off of the PV DM 332 so you don't need the 128 just a 0.2 point call but you want a video conference you need the bare minimum the DSP so the ppb dm3 up 128 which this one supports here and so if you just move up one there I got a 28 11 working as my terminal access server it's terrific it's definitely the loudest router I have so the 28 11s and the 28 20 ones are louder than the 2900 series of 2900 1s are actually really quiet the one rack used really nice I think that that's why there's a higher demand for them a little higher prices really nice there so let me just give you an idea here of some of my cable management here and this terminal access server is really nice it really does help with the getting the cable manage and I think once you get to a certain amount of devices going you're gonna have a little bit of a rat's nest and you know it's just inevitable but you can see the cable management's done decent and it could always be better for sure you see the little rat's nest there and there's only so much you can do and then these routers are really nice you know I've actually had a couple people asked me what kind of power draw it is my little stack here pool and so what I have is I have seventeen twenty nine hundreds I have one twenty eight hundred plus five plus five switches here and what I'm pulling is it's somewhere around 950 1,000 watts when they're all run in and I certainly don't run them all the time so I don't I don't pull that power all the time but yeah it gets a little bit warmer in this room here because it's a front room that faces the Sun sunset so I get direct sunlight plus uh if I'm running you know 23 devices here you know it gets a little bit warmer in here but like I said it's about 950 to a thousand watts it's drawing which is surprisingly not bad if you ask me here I just wanted to show you my little book stack here some good books if you're looking looking to learn this 101 laughs for CCNA that's a terrific one if you if you're going through your CCNA that's a terrific one there and then I'm only a couple weeks out from taking my mp route exam so I'll be doing that here real soon I like to be well around it so you know I've been teaching myself you know the collaboration stuff I've been teaching myself security stuff and while I'm doing my route my routes which stuff as well but uh here I just wanted to give a couple shot off a couple of the content providers our creators that you know inspired me or that I've learned quite a bit from and so so so what I've done to help pass some of my Cisco certifications is uh you know I buy a Monthly Pass to CB Heat CBT Nuggets it's about 85 bucks or so Jeremie charts terrific Keith Barker's terrific they've got you know great enthusiasm I've learned a lot from both of them I you know I buy my individual lessons from you to me it's like if you're a budget if you're on a budget you Tamizh got really good quality stuff but it's really cost effective and you can buy them individually I think my favorite content creators is a INE they're just you know a little bit more costly and they don't do monthly uh they don't do monthly subscriptions they want a lump sum so they're a bit expensive if you're just talking about you know six-month access or nine or twelve month access you have to do a lump sum with them and so then a couple of the content creators that you know I found on YouTube that are really good I really like Kevin Wallace it's got a great tone voice so he's easy to listen to David bumble he's terrific as well he's he's one of my favorites I just wish he did a more a little bit more advanced stuff he's more CCNA than CC and prie but bumble does step by step he's excellent and then same with dance courses he just stepped by Steph configuration you know he's really good at explaining everything as well and then a Travis mount a fig League same thing he's got some really good videos and then brian mccann inform INE that guy's my hero i mean he knows everything about service provider so I just love consuming and eatin up anything they eat that guy's got to say and then a couple other guys that are really positive that I've got some good motivation I've gotten some good ideas from one as a network chuck and then the other one is dawuan Lightfoot so big shout out delight appreciate the content the positivity so just keep keep keep doing your thing and a keep keep making this pot you know these positive videos man I really like them really appreciate them so anyways I just wanted to throw this out there let everyone see the the updated lab there let everyone check out the topology a little bit and you're building a multiple LSPs label-switched passed across your network it's a lot of fun and then using a bunch of different protocols redistributing from protocol to protocol and then using different address families to set up these l2 and l3 VPNs it's a lot of fun so anyways I appreciate everybody I appreciate you watching your attention to everything so if you got any questions feel free hit me up anyways later
