If you use solely 2500s then you will miss out on the newer
features, which is why we recommend that if you are using only 2500s you
start renting some rack time in your later preparation stage. The
"core" topics of the exam can still be covered on the 2500s. Topics
like Frame Relay, HDLC, PPP, IP Routing, OSPF, RIP, EIGRP, BGP,
Multicast, QoS, IPv6 have the majority of their features supported in
the 2500s. You may not have all the options that you do in later
platforms but you can still do general configurations.
I just did a quick comparison on the feature navigator of the
12.2T version for the 2500s versus the 12.4 version we use on the 3800s
for actual design. Some of the features that you will not see on the
2500s that are covered in our workbook are as follows. Other lack of
support will be there too as they don't list everything in the feature
navigator:
ACL - TCP Flags Filtering
ACL IP Options Selective Drop
ARP Optimization
BGP Configuration Using Peer Templates

BGP Cost Community
