I finished reading through the theory and started jumping into labs (specifically "101 Labs - Cisco CCNA" on Kindle Unlimited). I don't understand implementing serial connections. I have a few questions that I'm having trouble finding answers too,
What routers are the best to use to emulate the average router? I've been using a 2901 w/ the HWIC-2T module which seems to be working.
How can I control what the serial X/Y/Z numbers are? I don't know what X determines. Y seems to be based on the module location and Z seems to be determined based on the port on the module.
Lastly what are the differences between DTE and DCE serial connections? It seem one side should be a DCE connection and one side should be a DTE connection, so how can the wire be DTE or DCE?

Cant use DCE or DTE cable on Cisco 1941 router (packet tracer)
How to simulate internet in Packet Tracer?
You could put a server on one interface of the router or have an internal router and create a separate “isp” router that NATs your private IP address to a public IP. Then have a route for whatever public IP that server is allocated to
