Hi everyone,

Just curious if my lab at work will be enough to lab out the ent/na and if all parts can run IOS 15? Current setup:

x3 Catalyst 3550 Switches
x3 7200 series VXR Routers

We had this gear kicking around at work, so figure it may save me some money if I do not have to buy my lab. Thanks in advance for the info.

    Yes that will be more than enough hardware wise and should run 15.

    Sweet, thanks for the info. Just curious would it also cover CCNP? Or will additional hardware be required? Sorry for all the questions, still pretty green to the cisco world.

    Would be sufficient to get you through CCNP. I personally like more routers to make larger topologies and the 3550 are missing some features like private VLANs, but plenty people have passed with much less to work with.

    Good to know. Grabbing more routers wont be a huge issue, we may even have some in storage. Now to decide what modules i an going to get for the lab. Imgur
