Re: Layer 2 practice equipment

Vibs,

Just FYI, NetMaster scenarios are designed so they can be used on 2
switches. They have 4 switchs in the lab, but all routers connect to
just two of them. This means you can modularize their labs and just
skip those sections that require the 4 switches. They say they do it
this way because they know the switches are a real problem from an
expense standpoint for many people. Hong is right you have to run
through scenarios a couple of times anyway, but their way you can do it
once or twice in your own two switch lab, then use a rental lab for
another run through.

Sincerely,

Bill
