If the 1601 units you have are also labeled "LAN Extender" then they are of
a variety that was "simplified" and scaled back for cost savings and
actually relied on specific models of hub routers from which to boot up -
the venerable Cisco 4000 series routers with LAN Extender capable IOS being
one of these. If these are labeled as I mentioned then they are of very
limited use in learning IOS unless you invest in more gear - and LAN
Extender technology is pretty much a quaint footnote in obsolesence at this
point.
FWIW,
