Re: [PLUG] Help with Cisco 2520 Router

[John Kreno <john.kreno@gmail.com>]

The 2520 would be good just to get comfortable with IOS. I've played with things as old and small as that all the way up to the CRS Multichassis. The commands don't change all that much, but the feature sets will differ greatly.

And plenty of the newer Cisco routers out there can be expanded with a
switch module. The 2811's we use have 4-port 10/100 switch modules.
I've seen a few with 16-port switch modules.
