The Networking Lab provides students with their first experiences in computing and analyzing data traffic. Twenty student benches reside in the lab. On each bench are three 2.4 GHz PCs, a Cisco 2514 and Cisco 2621routers, one 2950 Cisco switch and two layer 1 hubs. Students can configure the bench in a number of different topologies to generate and capture traffic while implementing diverse network scenarios. Two network racks each hold a Layer 3 network switch for routing and switching, rack mounted hub and a Token Ring Mau. An additional rack maintains the room server, 2 PBX (white box) servers, 2 (white box) RAS Servers and a wireless access point.
