Hi there guys.
I am trying to connect two 2950's, a 3550 and 3 2621xm's without additional cost of involving an expensive 2512 server in a lab environment. Can someone suggest alternatives to connect all these devices so that they can be viewed simultaneously within secureCRT which I am using as a terminal emulator. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you Chris

Hi Chris,
Either you can separate Mgmt Netwrok vlan for all devices, Like connect 2950 with portchannel and 2*2621 routers with 2950 for HA , connect 3550 to one of the 2950 switch by connecting another 2621 router. Run a Mgmt netwrok routable and reachble form all device which can be access from Mgmt. Vlan from any PC.
Hope it Helps..

Hi there Ganesh. Sorry mate a bit of a novice at this. Can you explain what you mean by connecting them up. Do you mean just creating a separate mgt vlan for each device and then using crossover cable, daisy chaining them together to form a link? I want to be able to access them from my secureCRT connection via a console cable to my laptop.
cheers Chris

Hi there Ganesh. Yes sorry should have mentioned they are physical devices. I have two 2950's, a 3550 & 3 2621xm's that I am trying to physically connect and manage from my laptop unit. Will take a look at the links and see if I can create separate management vlans per device and see if I can manage it from my laptop. Thanks again. Chris
