RE: 2960 or 3560 ?

Thanks. What features are not available on 3550 ? I will have access to
3560s for few more days and will practice now only what is special to 3560.
I believe main differences are with QOS (like mls qos vlan-based), what else
?

The 2960 is going to be far from what you need for CCIE studies mainly
because it is not a L3 switch so it can't run any routing at all. You
really want to stick with 3560 or 3550 at a bare minimum if you want
to save some $.
