Some Good After All

So I am cheesing a little bit tonight because I found out something good. I didn't know this but packet tracer actually emulates 3560 switches with...get this...advanced ip services. So I have a mock lab on my laptop now. Pretty sweet if you ask me. I don't know yet if it will have all the features of a full in-the-flesh switch but so far I have seven switches on the table. Three using the multi layer switch capabilities (Route ports with OSPF running between them all) and four are just plane jane switches at this point. I'll configure port channels and the like on the plane jane switches and hopefully run HSRP/VRRP on these puppies too! In any case I thought it'd be worth mentioning that packet tracer CAN run 3560's. That's good news for all of us trying to study on the cheep!

Hope this helps,
Matt
