After getting 4 x Cisco 3550 switches, I am going to setup my lab using Ubuntu + GNS3.
I am following INE workbook. All the equipment are placed in the office's server room to enjoy 24 hrs air condition environment.
The equipment list as below.
1. i5 Computer with Ubuntu 12.0.4 installed. Cost around $500.
2. 12 x USB NIC Card (AX88772A Chip set). Each cost $5.
3. 2 x USB to serial converter. Each cost $2
4. 2 x 7 Ports USB Hub 2.0. Each cost $5. (one spoil :sad )
Equipment on the way: 2 x USB to RS232 converter.
As I am not familiar with Linux, it is difficult for me to do configuration.
The 1st problem I faced is the broken USB hub. Then since I am using USB-NIC solution, the Ubuntu cannot detect all the USB-NIC card. I plugged in one by one to make all the USB-NIC are in working condition.
Now I found out I cannot identify the corresponding USB-NIC to the mapping in Ubuntu.
I did some google and the solution as below.
* To see the USB logging in Ubuntu, issue "dmesg"
* To view the USB equipments list, issue "lsusb"
* To check the network connection, issue "ifconfig"
We can give the logical name to each of the USB-NIC. I am going to name them USB1, USB2.
To do this, follow the below steps.
1. sudo gedit
2. Open 70-persistent-net.rules which under /etc/udev/rules.d/
3. Change the key "Names = " USB1"
