Re: CCIE Lab Preparation using GNS3 - 4 switches against 2

You got to have 4 switches, L2 is a very important part of the lab and you
want to be really comfortable with it.
4x3550 would be enough for 90% of the lab, the remaining 10% you can
practice on a ranted rack.

Use http://7200emu.hacki.at/ as your main source for dynamips+real
equipment source.
