Do I have enough hardware to continue on with CCNP?

Over the last few weeks i've bought and recieved no longer used equipment from work and was curious if what I had would be enough to continue on to CCNP when i'm done with CCNA. If not I wanted to start budgetting for what I need.

3 x 2501's
1 x 2514
1 x 2501
1 x 2620XM
1 x catalyst 2950
1 x catalyst 3550
1 x catalyst 3750 poe

I was thinking I needed atleast another XM model router but wanted to see what you all thought.

for route i would suggest using gns3 since you already have experience on real gear.

3 switches are good, but if you want to do the cisco lab book i would get another 3550 and you are good to. (except of private vlans but for those you can just use an IOS on unix setup to do the labs)

If you know your way around a real router and a real switch, which it would seem you do, you could use a good simulator to practice everything else for the CCNP. I just used the Boson NetSim for CCNP.

Did you run into any issues with Boson NetSim?
