Re: CCIE Home Lab [7:49369]
DO NOT buy a Cat 5500 for the home lab if you are doing so for the CCIE. They are taking the 5500 off the Lab. Read the list about these and other recent changes. They were announced less than a month ago, and there has been a lot of discussion here. Now you could still buy a Cat 5500; just don't do it because you think it will be on the CCIE lab. They are dropping in value daily, so you might be able to learn something for CCNP switching test on a very cheap Cat 5000. My Cat that I was proud to have put together at reasonable price will go someday for MUCH less than I paid for it. Also, do not even think of buying a 3900 TR switch.

Here is the story: Recently laid off from Verizon, 3+ years hands on OSPF/IP experience with all kinds of routers/switches including Cat 5500's, 3640/20's, 7500 routers, 250x, and a bunch of Nortel stuff. I am seeking my CCIE, to keep myself in the market. I have my CCNA, but know that I need to keep my hands on the stuff to learn it. What kind of lab environment do you suggest. Should I buy one that will fit the CCNP or just get one that includes a 5500 for the CCIE? What do you think?
