More configuration
More configuration and downloads(I tried and failed, do not know what is actually is and how to use it):
A Simple Test
- Calc idle PC, very important!!
configure the router with the help of OSPF configure(中文)
A better choice to learn without these configuration, try GNS3 WorkBench
