Thanks to all,
Yes I have used Dynamip for most of my practice and Rented From IE Rack
rentals and attempted last February unfortunately couldn't pass because of
Open Ended Questions and QoS , Multicast section.
Now planing to start again the preparation again for Version4. i have
decided to buy anyhow four 3560 Switches and thinking do i want to buy
routers or can i manage again with dynampis for routing part ?
Regards,
Anbu
