The exact equipment varies from rack to rack and from location to location. You shouldn't waste time trying to build an exact duplicate because at best, you can only build an exact duplicate of a single rack at a single location. What you do need to do is make sure that you understand every type of equipment on the official equipment list on the Cisco web site. Don't take this for granted or you might be in for a surprise when you have to confront a Catalyst 3920 token ring switch or an older 4500. If you have only use the newest gear, you may be in for a suprise with older gear. Have you ever had to use the mode 10baseT command on newer equipment because the router thinks you are using AUI? I don't think so, but this simple type of error can cause you to waste valuable time.
