Hi, Thank you for such a great post.
Would someone please help me with a query. I am building up a ccie lab right now and I have a different approach to build a lab and I have a question, Will this design be suitable for comleting all the labs of RS? I have two switches, one 3750 24 port and one 3560 9 ports. I want to replace 3550 with GNS3 3725 switching module and then I will use USB (15-17qty) adaptors capable of 802.1q to physically connect the two switches which are 3560 9 port and 3750 24 port to all the devices as shown in the topology of INE however I will use only two etherchannel connection between neighboring switches since I have only 9 port 3560 and becuase of that I can have (2 cables as etherchannel between each of the 3 switches ) neighboring switches (1 physical and 2 virtual switches using gns3) and three connections going back to the routers in GNS3. The physical switches will be connecting to the BB routers in the GNS3 that is they will be placed diagonally as per INE topology and rest two 3550 switches will be replaced by gns3 (again diagonally). And I am using multiple usb adaptor to connect my physical switches with all other devies in gns3. Will this be a complete lab or will it miss anypart of the lab? Using two physical switchs diagonally connected to the BB routers, I will be able to practice things like private vlans, stp etc. Any suggestions for improvement would be most welcome. Please suggest. Thanks in Advance.
