I don't want to burst your bubble, but it looks like your hardware and IOS
do not meet the minimum requirements for the Internetwork Expert labs. To
successfully complete the Internetwork Expert labs, you will need ENTERPRISE
BASIC 12.2T and the hardware to run it. The 2500 routers are not much good
for anything more than a backbone router at this point.

Do the feature comparison yourself on CCO if you have access.

I know $$$ is an issue with a lot of people and how you choose to prepare is
entirely up to the candidate, but would you go on an Arctic adventure with
just swimming shorts? Where would your money be better spent, on the proper
equipment, or the multiple lab attempts because of inadequate preparation?

That is of course just my opinion. Let the debate begin. :)

Dear All,

setting up home lab, and have purchased Inetworkexpert Lab work book as
well. Now I need help which router to use in what position according to the
lab design used in the IE R & S lab workbook. I am also mentioning the IOS
File names I have on the routers, please mention the exact file name of IOS
I will need to perform the experiments. ANd Do I need to buy some more
routers or these are enough as if I count I have one less that what IE
Workbook uses.
