That's a good setup. Load 12.3.20 or latest 12.3 enterprise image on your
2600's and you should be able to do 95% of SP tasks (except for interas
MVPN, L2TPv3, and couple other small things).

2500's can be used as CE's
2600's are your PEs, RRs, and ASBRs. How many do you have?

One switch would suffice if you can connect all routers with dot1q tunnels
to it.

You'll also need two NM-1ATM-25 modules, they are around $100 on ebay. With
them you can practice cell-based MPLS.

You might want to have some back to back serial connections too.

I have a Routing and Switch lab set up that i want to convert to a
Service Provider lab. I am about to start preparing for the SP Lab.
Right now I have a few 2500s, 2600s, a 3550, and 2950. Any
recommendations?

TIA,

L
