I think you got the lab for the CCNP covered.

How's your airflow, cooling, and backup power?

Hum... a 3550 already -- will you be admitting anytime soon that you may have asperations past the CCNP?

CCNP LAB WOOHOO FUN FUNz!

Certainly looks like a fun lab

My only suggestion is to change the IP addressing scheme and use private addresses only.

I am not worried bout air flow yet, the 3550 is the hottest device out of everything. Im not using backup power yet, is it really needed? 11 device all running i think consumes no more than 500 watt, that should be equal to 3 normal pc or 2 high end pc right? I'm living in a garage turned into a room, I rewired powerlines to my main box. Two pc, cisco stuff, 3 lights and some small other devices is all that runs in here. If a backup still needed i think i'd want a rack mountable one to save space.

I read on a cisco forum that the ccie default lab devices were gonna change soon, to 3700/3800 routers along with 3550 and another switch. Once I finish ccnp I think im gonna hang on to the 3550 and 2500s then sell the 2600/2950 and invest in another 3550 along with one 3700,3800 to start. I dont know though plans change sometimes lol.

I have a friend that remotes to this lab, I try to make the addressing real simple and easy to remember for both of us. I originally wanted to make the whole thing 10.xx.xx.xx would that be better?

I agree with webmaster,its better to get into good habits now.If you continue down the track of picking random ip addresses it might come back to sting you in the future.
