Current Lab

Hi All,
After CCNA, I'd like to know if my current Hardware is suitable/part suitable for moving into Security exam.
1721
1751
2610xm
3 x 2950 switches
I have loads of WIC1Ts and a a NM-4A/S, cables etc..
For VPN etc.. do I need specific cards at all?
I would max them all out with RAM/Flash.
Would either of the following IOS be suitable for all the routers -
Advanced Enterprise Services
Advanced IP Services
Advanced Security
Thanks

I'd look into more 2600xm's and drop the 1700's
You won't need any VPN modules for the lab.

Thanks Steve,
Regarding the quote about the 1700s, is this due to the fact that they can't do the job, or just the fact that they are not as practical and modular as the 2600s?

@control - As long as you can get the 640-553 exam done before it retires in September, you're good. Otherwise you're going to need access to something that runs CCP once the 640-554 comes in. CCP requires an ISR or ISR2, neither of which run in GNS3. And as far as I can tell, there is no CCP Demo Tool like there was with SDM.
I've actually already ran CCP on my 2600xm and I'm pretty sure it would run on the 1700 with the correct IOS. Will test it over the weekend on the 1700.
What page are you looking at?
I can see listed hardware here -
Cisco Configuration Professional for Cisco Access Routers [Cisco Configuration Professional] - Cisco Systems
It doesn't show 1700 or 2600 as they are EOL but will still work with correct IOS. I believe CCP is IOS dependant and not hardware (This is what I was told on the CCNA/CCENT forum).
We are talking about Cisco Configuration Professional here?
Just tried both my 1760 and 3725 using CCP....both discovered OK with warnings.
"Hardware platform 1760 is not supported by Cisco CP. Some functionalities may not function as expected."
Running 12.4(15)T14 advanced enterprise IOS.
One issue I've spotted is voice, seems to only support SRST mode not CME.
Now I'm definitely going to fire up some 1700, 3725 and 7200 IOS images in GNS3 and see what I can get working later tonight. Thanks for clearing that up.
