When people are first getting started with studying for Cisco exams, they tend to want to get hands on practice. This is awesome, as I believe hands on practice is the only true way to master the technology. You can read lots of books, but until you get your hands dirty, you won’t get the full learning experience. When people start getting their hands on real equipment, one common question beginners have is “how do I build an access server so I can access the console ports of multiple devices at once while labbing?” So, I decided to help you guys out by making a video

Come watch as I take you into my personal home lab to look at an access server built out of a Cisco 2500 series router, and then look over my shoulder as I run you through the configuration!
