Hey guys! Just wondering I am studying for my ccie lab and I prefer to build my own rack than use rentals. I know that the R&S lab is using 3560 switches but there are a little pricey for me right now. But I see that cisco 6348 switches are reasonable in price. Would I be able to practice all the technology on a Cisco 6348 (granted I use the cisco ios instead of CAT OS). For example private vlans and layer 3 stuff. Any feedback would be appreciated.

I might be mistaken... but that Cisco 6348 switch module probably won't do you much good without a Cisco 6500 switch to put it in. ;) And for that matter, the Cisco exams don't test on CatOS anymore.

| I thought a cisco 6348 switch was a switch by itself? Didn't know you needed a 6500 to go along with it. |
