I'm getting ready (or in Texas, I'd be "a-fixin to git ready") to build a
CCIE
lab prep setup, both for personal use and for the use of my local studygroup.
Here's what I've identified - if I'm missing anything, please let me know.

Here's the strategy I'm going to take for the equipment:

1-2511 --- console server (w/ octal cable)
1-2503 --- ISDN
1-2504 --- ISDN
1-2514 - dual eth
1-2515 - dual t/r
1-4000 w/NP-4T and NP-1E or NP-2E, and a BRI interface or two if they exist
(F/R switch)
1-2924-XL
teltone isdn simulator
3 token ring MAUs
3 token ring media filters
4 AUI-10BT transceivers
4 Ethernet hubs
6 60-pin DTE-DCE cables
a bunch of Cat5 cables
rack
rackmount kits (or shelves)
and a partridge in a pear tree  ;-)

I'm budgeting about $4000 and if an additional 2501 falls into my possession
by accident,
so be it  ;-)

That should provide most of what's needed and enough of the interface types
required to
practice configurations (especially desktop protocols and iBGP/eBGP).  I'd
love a Cat5k too, but I can't do it on this budget.

What do you think about this parts list?  Pretty good for a start?  Think
it's
achievable with $4000?
