Hi there,
I didn't rent any racktime for my examination cause I could used spare 3550s
for practice during work. However, I could only did Catalyst configuration
training and other parts training (routing, ios features,etc) seperately. I
couldn't bought my routers back to office and setup a better environment.
Yes, 3550 are pretty expeneive for home lab... so rent racktime is a very
good option. Usually many racktime vendors sell you package or bundle which
make the cost at a reasonable level.
Cheers~
Jacky
