So far I've found the switching modules of dynamips unreliable.
I'm not sure what bugs have been fixed in the newest beta though. If
you already have physical equipment and have 3560s I would recommend to
get the 2900s and then trunk to an external 2610 or similar to perform
the routing functions. Compare the cost difference of two 2900s and two
2610s vs two 3550s or 3560s. Also I'm not sure if the 2924XL EN's
support 802.1q, they may only support ISL.
