It is a 3640 Cisco Router and a DVI type 15 pin connection on the back, plus few spares.

I don't have any DVI type connection in my 2950 switch, so I don't know how it can be connected?

Also please clarify from your previous answer(Netgear):"It appears to be a DSL to ethernet router and you need an ethernet to ethernet router or a router that supports "router-on-a-stick" to route between vlans". Why we are saying it is a DSL to Ethernet Router while It can connect to my Network with Ethernet port?

to connect it to the switch. If it doesn't have any you would have to obtain ethernet modules for it.

As for the Netgear, I'm not really familiar with that model nor netgear equipment in general. However I did a quick lookup on that model and it looks like it has one DSL interface and a 4 port switch. I doubt that it can route between the 4 interfaces in the switch. I could be wrong, maybe you can read the manual for your particular model and find out.

However the listing doesn't tell which IOS version is on it. You might want to send the seller a question and find out. Also, with only 32MB RAM and 8MB Flash, it won't be able to run the more advanced IOS images.

to purcahge a CISCO 2600 series Router from ebay and
In my Network I wanted to have my Netgear(DG834PN) box as my ADSL Internet Router/Gateway and Cisco 2600 as my Router which I can use to do all the testing. Vlan, Trunking etc. Unless I can configure this Cisco as my ADSL Router/Gateway?

Can I connect all the devices with ethernet cables only?

Best Regards.

on what types of testing you want to do with the router. To be sure, you need to send the seller a question and find out the IOS image name from the "show version" output. Then you can look up the IOS capabilities with the Cisco Feature Navigator.

For sure it will be able to route between VLANs on the switch. In order to use this router as your DSL router, you will need to be able to put the netgear in bridge mode and as I'm not familiar with the netgear I don't know if it supports that.
