Manny,
For the labs in the Solie book, you need a lot more than just 3 or 4
routers. Below are the (5) labs in the book along with the hardware
requirements (and what I would use for the router it's requiring):
CCIE Practice Lab: Skynet
Equipment List (9 routers total):
1 FR Switch, 4 serial ports (2520)
1 Access-server, 8 sync, one ether (2509)
1 backbone router, 2 ether (2514)
2 lab routers, 1 ether, 2 serial (2501)
3 lab routers, 1 token, 2 serial (2502)
1 lab router, 2 ether, 1 token (4000, could substitute a 2513 and be
creative)
CCIE Practice Lab: Darth Reid
Equipment List (7 routers, 2 switches total):
1 FR Switch, 4 serial ports (2520)
1 Access-server, 8 sync, one ether (2509)
1 backbone router, 2 ether (2514)
2 lab routers, 1 ether, 1 isdn, 1 serial (2503)
2 lab routers, 1 ether, 1 token, 1 serial (2513)
