The 2620's and 1700's can cover MOST features, but will miss some QoS and IPv6 functionality. As long as you are aware of the differences, then it's all good. A 2801 will work just fine for less $$ than a 2811 though! Most of the BB routers are 2610/2611 routers. In my development rack, the BB routers are 2811's. So it just depends. There's not too much fancy features on them though! :)

In the lab it is suggested: 4 pieces of C3550 6 pieces of C2811 1 piece of C3825 3 pieces of BB router Questions: *can the 6 pieces of C2811 be replaces by C2620 ( w/ 2 WIC1T cards ? ) for completing the labs in workbook? *can the 6 pieces of C2811 be replaces by C17000 ( w/ 2 WIC1T cards ? ) for completing the labs in workbook? *what kind of routers are the BB routers?
