Building a Branch Office
Today we're going to build out some "branch office" networks for my homelab retrorack. The "main office" is a Cisco 7206 VXR and we'll build out a branch office network connected over fast ethernet to a Cisco 7206. Then we'll build a second branch office with a Cisco 1721 connected via a T1 point to point link. We'll cover network configuration, static routing, and take a look at a bunch of interesting Cisco networking gear.
