CCNP SWITCH Lab Equipment

I've been spending a lot of time configuring and connecting fiber cables on our Nexus 5K core switches at our data center. There's a lot of trunking and EtherChannel configurations that were used to integrate these switches.

I'm almost halfway through my CCDP studies and just finished doing CCNP ROUTE labs. I'll be doing CCNP SWITCH labs next. There's a free CCNP SWITCH lab manual that I used and helped develop my home lab. I've used again my handy Cisco 2511 router for my jump server, four Cisco 3560 switches and two Cisco 1841 routers.

According to Cisco.com, the CCNP SWITCH will expire January 29, 2015 and will be replaced by SWITCH v2.0 300-115.

My pretty and adorable daughter, Sophia, will be turning 3 this March.

Here's the modified running-config of my Cisco 2511 Terminal Server:
