That is a very good point –
I am sure there is no quick answer to this......I may go down the security track first and wait for the dust to settle. I have to get R&S out of the way first ;) From: Tyson Scott [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: February-20-11 1:23 PM To: Max Pierson; Jason Maynard Cc: CCIE_RS OnlineStudyList Subject: Re: [OSL | CCIE_RS] L2 MPLS I think it is also important to ask who is willing to pay for sessions with the expensive hardware. It wouldn't be $25 a session like it currently is for R&S. That will be a driving factor in building the rack.

Thats a very good question though. XR based kits aren't exactly cheap. Marko had a link to a petition for Cisco to open up their code for training purposes. Hopefully Cisco will comply. I would love to get a "dynamips or IOU" for XR, XE, and NX. And I can imagine as time goes on, native IOS will probably be used less and less on the SP and SP Operations track. (I would hope at least :) Looks like the SP 3.0 track already has XR on it for the 12k.
