The majority of the R&S lab is routing and switching.
If you don't know how to configure the layer two
technologies and the routing protocols, it doesn't
matter how new your hardware is. Cisco isn't changing
administrative distances between versions, so
redistribution isn't changing much. You don't need a
3550 to understand how a switch works, or how to
configure trunking and VLANs. Voice can be practiced
on a pair of ubr924's for $75 each. There will always
be new features or things that you haven't seen
before, that's why they give you the Documentation.
