I've got one cisco router (2501) upgraded to the latest IOS and am trying to use it as a training tool but I can't seem to do much with it beyond binding IP addresses to the adapters and enabling a DHCP poo as I don't have another router, thus I can't use the serial ports on it, only the ethernet ports. Any suggestions on what I can do to use this router to learn on?
 
Set it up as your router for your home network? Thats a good challenge. Pick up a CCNA book and get reading!
 
If you don't have another router, you're probably not going to get a ton of use out of it. The 2501 only has one Ethernet port (as I'm sure you're no doubt well aware), and thus, can't be used in modern day networks without a bit of ... caressing? Like the previous poster said, I would definitely pick up some CCNA books and give it a go. Even if you can't really verify connectivity, you can definitely become familiar with the operation of Cisco devices.
