also to add, for those that get 29xx series switches, a 2926T (or F) is SupII bsaed, and a 2901 is SupI based. One of the key advantages of a SupII is the ability to do Fast Ethernet Channel.
I would argue, that even for CCIE lab preperation, a Sup I is sufficient. Sure, you may not be able to do things like Multilayer switching or netflow, or FEC with a SupI, but these are not core competencies of switching being tested (although definitly testable). I would consider the core competencies to be spanning tree, Cat IOS familiarity, VLANS/VTP, layer 2 security, etc. Brian On Mon, 12 Nov 2001, Daniel Cotts wrote: > Judging by eBay the Sup I is much less money than the Sup II.
