Setting Up the New Lab Server

I got done with a client engagement early today (before lunch), so I decided to take the time to setup the lab server.  The server is running on a white box home-built server.  The server has the following specification:

• 8 Gigabytes of RAM


• Intel Quad Core 2.4GHz CPU


• 2 - 500 GB SATA hard drives


• Dual network interfaces

The architecure of the layout of the network is shown below:

The MPLS, ATM and Frame Relay clouds are actually routers (hidden from the topology) allowing for integration of the different network topologies. 

After I get all of the functions operating correctly on the server, I will post the topology file.
