I read somewhere in cisco netpro that they will be adding another 3 routers
to the existing 6 pieces and 2 switches, bringing the total of routers
configurable by candidate to 9 routers, 2 switches.
I'm trying to decide, should i be building my own lab (i have leftovers of 6
x 2600XMs from my R&S) or should i be reverting to the more mobile Dynamips?
Now i understand for sure that the XMs do not run MPLS/VPN or TE from 12.3
onwards...so i am running into the possibility of not being able to simulate
a big part of the MPLS here for the SP track <-- which i personally feel is
a rather significant portion for this track.
Appreciate any thoughts/advice on this.. as i'm thinking if i should sell of
my lab and consider dynamips. What other things will i be missing??
Thanks.
