in CCNA & CCENT
Hey guys... need some advice. For anyone who read my previous post http://www.techexams.net/forums/ccna-ccent/55232-local-significance-dlci.html, I was having some issues with understanding DLCIs. I think I have figured it out now and looking into doing more lab work to make sure everything sticks.
So, I am picking up a frame-relay switch to simulate the Service Provider. I am going to hook my 2501s up to it.
If you have to choose between:
(1) Cisco 2620 with a NM-4AS 16/64D for $110
OR
(2) Cisco 2522 for $100
Which would you go with...?

The 2620 has the NM and a couple WIC slots which give it more options than the 2522, but beyond that, the 2600's aren't hugely better than the 2500's.

I have some 2620's and I really like them. For my frame relay switch, I have a 3620 with the 4 port serial module. -

Take a 2501 and slap another 8 serial ports on it. -

I'll grab the 2522. Hopefully the seller gets back to me asap so that I can have it by this weekend!
