    Slick. I'm jealous. I've yet to even buy a single switch icon_sad.gif

    you can use gsn3 for routing labs. But all you need is 2 2950 12 port switches and one 3550l3 switch for the switch labs. Check ebay you can get them fairly cheap and buy the 3550 with smi image and find the emi image online and do the upgrade yourself. its cheaper that way. at home i bought 2 2950 12 port for $40 from ebay.

    Rack rentals are also a nice option. For $25-$50 you can get plenty of hands-on practice for the SWITCH exam.

    I used two 3550s and two 2950s and I agree those models are adequate. Note, there are some switching topics--such as private VLANs--that you can't practice with a 2950 or 3550. You'd need a 3560 to practice everything.
