BCMSN lab

Hi All

I am shortly about to embark on by BCMSN and am hoping to take the exam before the current one retires!

I've used 2950's in the past, at work, but wanted a little home lab to test stuff on.

Would there be any point in purchasing a 35xx series switch over a 2950 one? The OS is the same, but is there anything else that would majorly hinder my understanding?

I have a 5000 series switch at home already.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks

Is there any difference between using a 2950 Enterprise edition or 2924 with Enterprise?

the 3500XL and the 2900XL series are about the same as far as IOS features. and neither allows intervlan routing (using logical vlan interfaces). if its a 3550, thats a different story - they do allow inter vlan routing and are more appropriate for BCMSN

The 2924 cannot do some of the features the 2950 can, like 802.1X vlan filtering and some other stuff...
