Hi Kim,

Given the fact that the Dynamips configs don't support a 3550 or 3560, 
but instead it uses the 16 port switch modules the configs can't match.  
The workbook is configured for the real rack equipment.  What I did was 
get four switches and just emulate the routers on dynamips.  It works great.

The Workbook labs will have to be adjusted to reflect the Dynamips 
topology (usually its really simple change a 1 to a 0 or  something that 
simple). 

Also keep in mind that there is a lot of Layer 2 stuff you can't do on a 
100% dynamips rack.  Till I got my switches I just used real racks for 
the Layer 2 stuff.
