Recall the "Triangle" or Spanning-Tree Manipulation.
You can get a couple of cheap switches and practice
these techniches.
2912-XL's can be had for under $50.00
But you may like the DEll competition to Cisco for
about $100-200.00 - more IOS-like and cheaper - same
functions...
I even bought an Avaya Switch to play with.
Nortel can be had for basically shipping.
You want to be able to manipulate Spanning-Tree and
you want to be able to play with the various
Etherchannel commands.
You can do this on two Cisco switches - just get two
others so you can manipulate paths.
You'll be fine and the competition is extremely cheap.
I learned alot obout Spanning-Tree recently on Foundry
for instance (not as cheap) but the commands and
concepts were almost identical in most cases to Cisco.
