The 2924XL really wasn't good enough to do any testing on, we just had a
spare at work that I was able to take home with me to play around on. It
would probably be best to do a combination of some set based switch and a
1900, since many of the commands in the 2924XL (or atleast the latest and
greatest IOS version that I keep on all my switches) GREATLY differ from
those you'll find the the BCMSN course material (almost none of the
spanning-tree commands they list for the 1900 match up with the 2924XL).
Luckily at work I have 5 2924XLs to do the real tests on, although
honestly I really didn't do that much testing anyway (just studied the
hell out of the material from the book.) Only lab stuff I did with our
switches was set up a few Etherchannel links and did some ISL trunking
with a 7206 router.
