MANNY, You cannot do a full lab with just dynamips - the NM-16ESW cannot emulate the full functionality of the 3550/3560 switches; however, you should be able to practice all the routing topics and supplement with rack time if your budget doesn't allow you to buy the 4 switches you'll need.
My study lab is a combination of dynamips and four switches which I prefer, but it is still expensive to do it this way. It probably is cheaper to buy rack time but I wanted to be able to do any study topic at any time.
