RE: 1841 - good for labs?

Cisco answered your question for you today:

"The CCIE R&S v4.0 lab exam will be refreshed with new questions to reflect
the current job role expectations of employers. The equipment in the testing
lab will be updated with Cisco 1800 and 3800 Series Integrated Services
Routers running Cisco IOSR Software Version 12.4(T) and Cisco CatalystR
3560-E Series Switches running Cisco IOS Version 12.2 Advanced IP Services."

Yep, I have a few of these. You are right ... these are supported and work
fine. Good point. I like the integrated DSU cards a little better, mostly
due to the smaller cable runs between devices. Also, these are easy to run
to a 8 port IMA card on a 72 or 3600.

My lab is mostly put together. I am always on the lookout and add to it
when I can, and I learn a lot from this mailer. As the same with many of
you rock stars, my office sounds like an airport. ;-)
