granted there is a lot covered in the 3550 config guide - 900 pages worth. However, rather than let yourself become overwhelmed with the amount of material, it never hurts to take a few minutes and think about things, and develop a study strategy based upon some solid analysis.
Let's see - there used to be a Cat 5000 ethernet switch and a Cat 3920 token ring switch in the Lab. Now there are two Cat 3550 ethernet switches in the Lab. What are some of the core technologies, things that are important in enterprise networks, that you can now do that you could not do before? Oh, and those switches have L3 capability. So how might they, as routers, be integrated into the Lab? What are some of the things you might need to know for a 3550 to exchange routes with a router, no matter what the routing protocol? I just this week received my upgraded lab packaged from NLI - you know - b--o--o--t--c--a--m--p, and they have updated all materials to reflect the 3550. IPExpert has a new book out, updating all their labs to include the 3550. They also have a deal with Gettlabs in a situation that is a lot like the old Mentor model - buy the lab package and it includes rack time at Gett. Recognizing that I was paid for my work, I think the Cert Zone 3550 white paper is worth reading, and the labs worth reviewing. just some food for thought.
