CCIE Lab

[NetOpsTech]

I'm looking to build a CCIE lab.
I have a 1601 w/WICt1, 1604 w/wict1, 1750 w,2 wict1's, 2621 w/2 wict1's.

Can someone make a few suggestion of what I should add to my existing lab to eanble me to study for the ccie. I'm not looking to blow a fortune on new equipment.

I saw on ebay selling a 6 2500 series routers but I don't see I can get them into my existing lab with the interfaces I have now.

you need a frame relay siwtch for sure

i got a 2520 w/ 4 serial interfaces. it works great.
1 2914 dual ethernet router
1 2620 w/NM-2V modules and VICs for VOIP configurations
1 2511 for terminal service to all the rack equipment console ports
2 2503 w/BRI ports
1 isdn simulator
2 3550 switches
4 2501 routers with 2 serial /1 aui ethernet
cabling and accessories
flash and memory maxed on all 2500 series
upgrade everything to 12.2 until they change the lab version

good luck

since the 2500 end of life in cisco the routers became cheap on the market.you can try and build a lab with some 2500 routers and its a good idea.by the way are you using any ip expert book
