Home Lab - Topology

Spend bit of time today to come up with a topology to get some hands on.
This should help me to complete the L3 and l2 infrastructure section.

Topology is primarily based on  the home lab setup explained in the excellent site at http://mrncciew.com/2012/10/20/my-home-lab-i-am-getting-there/..
Kudos to Rasika for his great work. His hard work paid off as he got the magic number last week!!
Setup for the time being is as given below:

Voice side of things is not setup yet but plan is to use a 2811 as CME and get a 7921g off ebay.
Things like  MSE, VSS  and OEAP it will be rack rentals.

Was thinking of running BGP,RR and some funky stuff on the WAN but as BGP is not part of this game, i resorted to EIGRP. Also added a NSSA area to keep things interesting.

I have created situation within the topology that will cause a RPF failure so it will be good fun.:-)


Update 18/09/2013 :Due to lack of resources I have downgraded my lab topology which only contains 2 sites.
