Thanks for the info. Andy!! Now I can get the dust off some of my old 2500s, and put them to some good use.

And actually, Andy, I'm one of those numerous friends of yours that you have not actually met. Your book has been very useful in my CCIE prep.

Thanks again
Ralph

Whoop, Sorry Ralph! I thought you were a friend of mine. I apologize for
responding to your e-mail as if your name was "Raj".

I think you will find the contents of my previous e-maul useful. As I
mentioned, there are images for the 2500 platform that run v6. Good luck in
your studies.

I hope all is well.

You definitely a few 2600's. I do not think the 2500's can run the IPv6
code, and some of the new features in 12.2T.

Hey all

I am about to purchase my home lab for scheduled CCIE Lab. Please advise me
the drawbacks of using all 2500's in my home rack instead of 2600's.
One difference I noted is that the 2500's can run IP plus as highes feature
set. They dont come with Enterprise Plus, while 2600 can be configured with
both feature sets. Is their something extra that wont be there in IP plus
for 2500 that i may require for CCIE.
