If the network is well designed and implemented, you should not have to be analyzing and troubleshooting very much. In Fact you should have 99.90 uptime if its as well done as implied below....

A 40 router lab is nice, but its not the same as troubleshooting a production network with 20,000 + users at multiple sites.
