in CCNA & CCENT
So i have my lab nearly ready for my CCENT/CCNA studies in the summer, is it nearly complete and if not.. how can i finish it off?
I got:
2x 1721 each with 2 x WIC-1t - only one ethernet port on them.
1x 2611 - do i really need more WIC cards cant i just swap them around if needed?
1x 2620 with 2x WIC-1t - again one ethernet port - running 12.4 IOS
1x 2950G
1x 2924XL
Right apart from cables etc is my hardware up to scratch?
Would another switch help? If so is another 2924XL ok or would i really need a 2950?
Second im thinking of upgrading the memory in one of the 1721 to 64mb DRAM - it has 16mb flash so it can handle 12.4 and thus SDM as well - good idea?
Thanks for all the help to everyone in the past for their advice!

Personally I would toss (or sell) the 2900XL and get two more 2950s. That's not to say you can't get by with what you have (it's a pretty decent lab for CCNA), but 3 switches are better for doing STP labs and 2900XLs use some different commands.
