Though 3550 do have different features than 4000, I did my lab on 4006... and
I passed.

My suggestion is reading 3550 doc while practicing on 4000.

Good luck.

  I work on 6500s and 4000/4500s (both running SupIII orSupIVs with
  Enterprise IOS) and may be able to use a 4006 (Sup III) as the center of
  a lab setup. I haven't the chance to use a 3550 (We have some 3548s and
  2950s, but neither is the same as the 3550).. But from what I've read,
  the 3550 is virtually identical to the IOS on the 4000s because they, by
  default, treat each port as a L2 port (as opposed to the 6500s where
  every port is, by default, a L3 port and has to be "converted" to a L2
  port with the 'switchport' command).

  So my question to the group is: Would using a 4000 prepare me the same
  for the lab?

  Any comments or suggestions are welcome.
