CCNP switch equipment
Was browsing thru our local online store and found some cisco switches for sale (used/refurbished)
2x 2950
1x 3560
Is it worth it for the switch study? Or should i rely on the IOU for GNS3.
I can't risk ordering thru amazon/ebay because of import charges that will be imposed by our local customs department.
Your advice is greatly appreciated

Those will work well. Another 3560 would be even better.CCNA Security - 6/11/2018

He's right... all of those would be great in studying. However, having one more Layer 3 switch (3560), would round out your switch lab completely.
Good Luck, my friend! -

The 3560 is ideal for CCNP. The 2950 is a little old, but can still do basic Layer 2 (No Layer 3, No Private VLANs, No VTPv3). Here in the US, they (2950) can be had for $15 to $25 a piece.R&S: CCENT → CCNA → CCNP → CCIE [ ]
