I agree, it's pretty boring playing with SNMP and RMON in a lab of
only Cisco devices. There's only so much insight you get doing it this
way.

Set up your own SNMP manager -- pick one of the open source (free)
ones out there.

Same goes for IP Services -- it's hard to create interesting scenarios
when you're limited to lab equipment. Get a couple of PCs and connect
them to your lab. Simulate 'real' end user connections to make NAT,
gateway redundancy and all that stuff more realistic.

There's no shortcut.

cheers,
Dale
