I've completed the BCSI and BCRAN exams toward the CCNP. I'm now working on the Switching test and wonder if my home lab is robust enough for the task.
What I have is an old Cat5000 (w/ 12 port 10/100 blade) with a SUP I engine and a 1912. I know that I can play lab rat with many of the switching features with these switches and some FE interfaced routers I have, but I think I could miss out on some of the more complex STP type of scenario's. What additional devices or upgrades might I get that would be most beneficial? Upgrade the Sup engine add a RSM or buy some additional switches? I would like to spend as little as possible and I realize the 3550's are a hot item, but I may or may not attempt the CCIE. What's the best way to spend my money? Thank you.
