CCNP lab question.

I came across some (4)2800 routers and (4)2560 switches, would this be enough to get me through labbing for ccnp, or do I need an additional router or a different model?

The routers should be good to go with the right interfaces.

Never heard of the 2560 switch before though.

Is that 2560 or 3560?

lol yea sry a typo, meant 3560 switches. Am I ok with only 4 of those routers?

4x 3560 is more than enough. For routers - more the better! Try adding up some more though GNS3 if that's an option.

ok, i'm fortunate enough to be able to go to store room and get more equipment if needed. Guess I will go grab some more 2800's. I even got a juniper EX 4200 to play around on junos some.

4 x router + 4 x switch is plenty to master the CCNP content. Focus on the interface types now. I'd want one of those routers to have at least three serial interfaces.
