Thanks Gary, Great advice! almost have got the same plan. Since have yet to get down to the nitty-gritty of all scenarios, I am not quite sure if it can be useful to deploy a combinition of 1760s and 2520s, I also have a stack of them and hopeful to get away with these cheap-dirt guys in at least 80% of questions. As far as I know, 1760s work with sec features nicely, don't they ? but am I going to have all peers involved in advsec features? Cheers, Kambiz

You are better off with gear that runs the latest IOS or dynamips. But if you are restricted to using older gear you can still practice many core technologies. I have a stack of 2500 series and 2 x 3550 switches at home and have found them agreeable for most things. For the rest I use remote racks..and will be playing with dynamips soon enough. ----- Original Message ----- From: Kambiz Agahian To: [email protected] Sent: Saturday, February 09, 2008 1:20 PM Subject: [OSL | CCIE_RS] 2811s in Ultimate Lab Preparation WB Hi guys, I was just wondering if possibly could deploy legacy 2520s instead of all those expensive 2811s. Are they able to be useful in 80-90% of our scenarios ? or they just start lagging from the beginning ? Cheers,
