We would like to make a quick announcement to inform everyone that we will be soon entering a public beta testing phase of the upcoming Cisco lab - Yes, it's almost complete!
While we haven't given any priority to the lab interface - hence it's not available at the moment, we are more interested in the functionality of the lab, so we will be allowing selected valued members to access the booking system to place a booking and access the test lab we have setup.
Access to the test lab will only be performed via standard telnet, and direct console access (as promised in the lab's specs) will be given to the lab's equipment. No graphical interface will be available until it is complete.
It is important to note that the test lab is a simple as can be for the purposes of testing the booking & authentication/access system of the lab(s).
For those wondering, the test lab will consist of one 2600 series router, a Catalyst 2950 switch and possibly another Catalyst 3524XL switch.
Once the beta testing is complete and all feedback has been received, we will be working on finalising the lab's configuration and soon releasing it officially for public use.
Meanwhile, we will soon post some pictures of the booking system for those seeking a glimpse at the interface.
Cheers,
