RE: [PLUG] [OT] Cisco router expert needed


Tom:

If you have qualified IT people (Linux guys), the routers should be a snap.
Cisco will help you choose hardware. When installed, they will help you
configure by phone. Use a windows box and run hyperterminal (9600)
enable->config t and you are ready to configure.
go to interface mode to assign ip addresses to eth0, s0 etc.
nat for address translation.
static route to ISP
thats the basics.
I have done probably 20-25 of these for small-medium business.
Had over 300 hours of class (including CCNP).
Probably dont need all that (OSPF, BGP, etc).

I have just recently begun to teach myself Linux (shrike).
This weekend, I setup my Linux box for ppp dialup, snat (ip masquerading),
minimal firewall. Pretty much the same.

Let me throw my hat in the ring.

Hi,

I have a better idea of what we're looking for.  We have an application that
is going to to use IP multicasting to update several devices on a private
LAN.  We need to test doing this using IP tunnelling through a pair of
routers.  The people involved in this project are looking for a "Cisco"
router specialist to tell them what a "typical router setup" is (i.e. at the
customer site you've never seen)  They would then like to know what hardware
to buy and how to set the h/w up to test their app.  This is strictly a
consulting job of a weeks(?) duration.  My boss is checking with Cisco to
find a local consultant.  I'll give him the information from the people that
have already responded, but if any one else is interested feel free to email
me at work (tom [dot] hornberger [at] checkpt [dot] com).

Tom
