is enough 2x3550 + 2x3560 +gns3/iou for CCIE R&S?
Hey, i will start to study for the CCIE R&S.
I have two 3550 and two 3560.
I need to know if with that gear, and using gns3/iou will i be able to study all the blueprint?
i can'f find an updated post where see what does not work in gns3/iou, so, you think i will have to get more real gear??

You'll want to configure as breakout switch which should get you in the right direction for using GNS3 and the real switches.

SteveO86, thanks for posting.
I know how to connect real switches with gns3/iou, what i meant in my other post is if it will be enough, the 4 real switches and gns3/iou for the routers, or there will be parts of the blueprint that i will not be able to practice due to bugs in gns3/iou.
If the number of bugs is pretty slow so i think is not worth buy real routers right?

Zartanasaurus, very useful your post, thanks.
So i will use my 4 switches + gns3 and maybe i change the 2 3550 for 2 more 3560.
One last question mate: i think i will i use the official guides from cisco press for ccie R&S and the book "routing-bits" and a lot of practice You think this will be enaugh or should i get material from vendors like INE or ipexpert?
There was a guy on the INE forums who claimed he didn't purchase any workbooks, just set up a lab and went through the entire DocCD labbing all of the technologies and following the examples? Does that work? Apparently so. Is that ideal? I don't know, that's not what I did. I went with INE and went through their entire training program.
I think their All Access Pass is a good deal and I'd certainly recommend their training to anyone starting down this path.
