Hello GS,
  I got two 3550s one 2950 EMI and one 3548XL. Is this OK to complete most of my lab?
  Please advise.
   
  Thanks

  Why?

Why can we not simply buy some 2924's or 2950's and use a 7200/7500 or even a 5505 with RSM to handle the SVI portions of the requirements?

Why?

It would be ideal to have exactly what is on the exam but what if we cannot due to cost?

Why cannot we - the experts - who understand the technologies being tested substitute one model for another?

Why not?

Sure some QoS and other commands may not be able to be realized, but 95% can be done and done well.

What if we use a 4006 with a supervisor module?

Why not?

Next time they might change the 4 3560 switches to 6 7K switches in the
