I think groupstudy has professional level forums that are more appropriate for
this. With that said, I recently built labs specifically for BSCI students.
For the BGP sections particularly and also for labs which require multiple
IGPs its nice to have 5 or 6 routers. For this reason its usually a little
more economical for people to either run dynamips or rent rack time for labs.
Rack time is pretty cheap and dynamips is free. How much is having the box
with the blinky lights in front of you REALLY worth. :D

Subject: CCNA/P Lab

Hi Groupstudy,

I've finished my CCNA studies and I'm trying to get a lab together for as
little as possible.

At the moment I have a Catalyst 2950, 2 2621 routers, 1 2611XM router.
I was just wondering is there anything that I should add to this or should I
just use dynamips?

I really want to get more hands on switching and I have a laptop with C2D
and 4GB RAM which I can run dynamips on... what is the best option?
I need something that will bring me through CCNP.

All suggestions appreciated!

Shane
