Being this, the first cisco device in my house (let's not kid ourselves linksys doesn't count), I am all giddy and am practically bouncing off the walls
I had bought my 2610 a while back but only had one ethernet interface so it was practically useless
Now that I have two ethernet interfaces I can configure it as my gateway router
Oh how much fun I will have with the QoS
This + my soekris 4801(m0n0wall 1.2) will kick so much ass
My network (pre-carnage:evil: )
EDIT:
Basically, it looks like the only similar router that SDM will work with is the 2610XM which I am not familar with. I tried to install the software and it told me my router was not compatible
Anyone got any ideas?
I realize that the old guys here, those hardened from the heat of battle with the CLI, will yelll at me for this, but is there any other software (free) that will allow me to interface with the router in a cool way? I remember in my CCNA class that they had software that would allow you to draw a network, sort of like Visio, but then physically interface with the routers. I don't beleive it was cisco works though.
In addition, my IOS version supports IPS and I was interested in seeing what the best resource for learning the commands might be (on cisco's site or whatever). I would like to update the defs and such and would like to be made aware of techniques/practices
I am also toying with the idea of making this a transparent firewall, sicne 12.3 supports it
Please, if you have any ideas for what I can pull off with this thign let me know
