is the physical topology of the gear. Ideally you would want all 2800 series routers but that is pretty pricey so here is what I did. Cat 1 - 3550 (Cat1) Cat 2- 4 - 3560 (Cat2-4) R1 2801 R2 3640 R4 2801 R5 3640 R6 3640 R7 3640 R8 3640 R9 3640 BB1-3 2621XM All 3640 routers have MAX amount of RAM and flash. I also have a 2620 as the frame switch. The key is to make sure the router IOS support IPv6 and also MPLS (LDP and TDP) All of my serial links are WIC1-DSU-T1 becasue that is what i had around. You can also use WIC-1T and WIC-2T but you will need the serial cables, i was able to just make T1 cross over cables. So far i have not run into any limitations. With my layout i do have to change the interface numbers around a bit in the intial configs and also adjust when i am grading my own solution but it works well. I plan to use my own rack for Volume 1 and for my own self study labs. I will probably start to use proctor labs once i get to Vol2 and especially Vol3.
