It was very straight forward with the gig interface that links to the physical switch only having its mtu increased. Everything else is handled by dynamips or the physical switch. @Fraser What info are you after for the nix side?

How did you get the linux side to work? I want to be able to use a single Interface on my ubunutu box to connect to a stack of 3560s Nice looking setup. How did you get the linux side to work?

I prefer the real switches to be honest. The SP lab may not cover the advanced switching components that RS does but this way I have no issues with mtu sizes, !inQ tunnelling etc. Basically I went this route so I wouldn't have to rent racks and could still do all the work. Plus I like the humm of the boxes next to me :). @Matt

Especially like the console cable work. Back in the day you could have used the headhsell because with a rollover cable and enough Cisco headshells you can do absolutely anything... Are you finding much different with the real switches and the dynamips switches (NM-xESW) for SP purposes? After all SP doesn't have anywhere near as much fancy switching stuff as what R&S does. My search for "Extreme Alpine" on ebay had interesting results: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/New-Mens-Alpine-Coat-Extreme-Cold-Weather-Black-Jacket_W0QQitemZ220331332239QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUS_CSA_MC_Outerwear?hash=item220331332239&_trksid=p3286.m63.l1177 Looks good mate.
