| reply to Corvus Re: [CCNA] What would be the best lab?
If budget has no limit, then why don't you get couple of Catalyst 6509 with redundant Supervisor Engine 720, several 12000 routers, and have all application run on top of it? This is kind of lab that large companies have to simulate the actual production network to test pretty much anything from Global Server Load Balancing, MPLS, Multicast; to routing protocols (BGP, OSPF, EIGRP, RIP) and some Layer-2 topics (Spanning Tree among others).
Don't go for smaller model if you can have the real thing to simulate the real network  |

I think with your suggestion, they would DEFINITELY put a budget restriction in place. 
And besides, 12000 series are old. Get some CRS-1's instead.  |
