Any one technology can be tested out in small environments just fine. 3
routers and 2 switches would be good.. Don't forget your switches are
routers too in this case! So that's 5 routing devices to play with. You
can create lots of topologies for testing with that.
When you have the desire to put everything togteher and make it really big
you rent some time with one of the rack vendors that has already spent lots
of money to build big things. Save your own money that way!

The only concern I can see with all this is ...if you want to build a home
lab, what do you buy? 2 switches or 4 switches.

Quoting Scott Morris <swm@xxxxxxxxxx>:
Should it matter?
If you know the technologies and the concepts listed on the
blueprint,
whether they present you with 4router/4switches or
140routers/13switches
shouldn't make a difference (other than time).
Concentrate on the important things!
Just my $.02

Subject: New lab layout
Well Im setup for Nov 14th so I'm guessing I will get the new lab
layout.
Does anyone know how many routers? 4 routers 4 switches? 6 routers 4
switches?. I also know it could get the old layout being so close to
the
conversion date. Any thoughts?
