I think the 3640's and 3725 are sufficient for lab preparation.
You just need the ability to run 12.4 mainline and follow the blueprint and
the blueprint on internetworkexpert.com
Don't worry about advanced non-R/S features like IPS...
My rack has two 2811's, a 3845, a 3745 and a blend of 2621xms (the other
routers) and 2610's for the BB's.
Having failed the lab twice don't you think I would switch to all ISR's if I
thought it was necessary? For me that would be as hard as going to the
storage closet and opening 3 boxes. I know its not worth the effort.

Subject: OT: Considering A Change To My Lab Topology (Dynamips)
Hi all,
As it stands, I'm running all 3640s in Dynamips for lab prep. For a variety
of reasons, I'm considering a change to the 3725. However, I have no
experience with this router in my lab studies or in the real world. Does
this box have sufficient feature support for full lab prep? Dynamips
doesn't do any of the ISRs (due to the complexity of reverse-engineering
ASICs). Thus, I'm a little concerned that there may be some FW/IDS type of
stuff tested in the real lab using the 2800s that I won't be able to prepare
for w/ an all-3725 lab. I could always blend 3640s w/ the FW/IDS feature
set back into my topology for those labs that require that sort of thing.
My main problem here is that I'm still working my way through IEWB#1 and
thus I don't know how big of a deal this will be when I get to IEWB#2
shortly. Or the real lab, for that matter. Anyone willing to offer some
insights here? Suggestions? Guidance? Criticisms?
Thanks much all,
Scott
