I found the Cisco Interactive Mentor LAN Switching simulator as entirely sufficient preparation for CCNP studies. It's far less expensive, and the Cat5K is now completely irrelevant as far as the CCIE lab goes...

I wanted to know if anyone knows EXACTLY what Supervisor Engine I need for the CCNP switching exam? Do I need just a sup-III (WS-X5530-E1) or a (WS-X5530-E2)? to quote a supplier I spoke with: "The minimum SUPIII for CCNP studies, and the older CCIE labs is WS-X5530-E2. The E2 and higher revs have the updated NFFC card that enables MLS configurations. The WS-X5530-E1 (the label just says WS-X5530) does NOT support MLS.) I also heard I need a Route Switch Module (WS-X5302) for the exam. Can someone confirm the necessary equipment I can use to complete the CCNP / CCIE lab rack?
