Just ordered a new toy for the lab

4 x 1.29Ghz UltraSparc III Processors
4GB Memory installed
2 x 36GB Hard drives fitted (Original SUN units)
DVD Optical drive
SUN Service port
QLogic QLA 2310F Fibre Channel Card installed
2 x Power supplies installed

(original)

No Rails
19" (48.3cm) form factor and 67.3cm deep (1U)

and if you don't have access to such server probably you can hire a remote access for around 45USD from http://thoughtwave.net/ - I will try it soon.

AToM and C37xx

I spend couple of hours yesterday playing with "Any transport over MPLS" and it works. It's easy to configure and easy to troubleshoot,anyway, I am not writing this post because it's easy to configure some MPLS application but because I tried it first on cisco 3725 and I hit some issues - so my advice is - if you are using dynamips and want to try some MPLS features just don't do it on 37xx platforms, use 72xx.

I arrived in Reading, Berkshire couple of days ago and the place is not as bad as some people described it. I staid in small hotel near to the company I will be working at.
