Taylor,

Your routers are pretty much obsolete for lab pursposed. You need to be
able to support 12.4 Advanced Enterprise. The following routers can support
this, according to the IOS upgrade planner:

876
 1701
 1711
 1712
 1721
 1751
 1751-V
 1760
 1801
 1802
 1803
 1811
 1812
 1841
 2610XM-2611XM
 2620XM-2621XM
 2650XM-2651XM
 2691
 2801
 2811
 2821
 2851
 3220
 3250
 3270
 3725
 3745
 3825
 3845
 7200
 7200-NPE-G2
 7301

Your next best option is to use enterprise plus on a 3640/3660 platform.
This is also supported on Dynamips. Check here for more
information.<http://www.internetworkexpert.com/resources/iosonpc.htm>

As far as the switches go, they will do fine for the most part. I
understand there are some differences in the way QoS is handled, but you can
probably just figure that out with a handful of rack rental sessions.

Here's the latest detail from Cisco on the current IOS and equipment.

Hope that helps!
