Hi everybody and it feels good to be back. I haven't studied for the CCIE in over 5 years, this time I plan on finishing it. I have a couple questions I'm hoping that one of you can answer to get me started on the right foot. I bought the IPexpert lab deal, too good to pass up IMO. I have an old school rack, I'm talking 2500s, a couple 2600s, ISDN smiulator, etc. Looking at the lab book diagram, looks like I'm outdated and those 2811s and 3800s aren't cheap. Realistically how far I can go with my old CCIE rack? I just loaded 12.3(24) IP PLUS on all the 2500s. I think buying 50 sessions may be the way to go, but I've already dragged my rack and all my gear out of the attic, rack mounted it, cabled it, upgraded, frame relayed it, and started playing with the CORE prots. One difference I noticed is my old IE workbooks required two 3550s, looks like 4 now, interesting.... Any wisdom is greatly appreciated and hope to get the workbook soon and knock this out fast. Thanks in advance.
