RE: Regarding routers for CCIE R & S

Raghav,

One thing that I would say about the information below, you can actually run
the XM code on the 2611 if you boot it from TFTP, which means you can run up
to 12.4(15)T. But at that point you may as well learn to watch paint dry as
it is about as fast as booting the 2600's from TFTP.

Raghav,

If you have them already, set them up and go through the labs (From any
vendor) i guarantee you that you could probably do a huge portion of any
work book, once you know what you can and can't do, i would just rent a rack
and do those ones.
Unless you want to spend some money.
