I don't know of any alternative for the 3550. While you can purchase a less expensive switch to practice your IOS-based commands (such as a 2912XL, 2924XL, or 3524XL, for example), you will be losing a lot of features that will most likely show up on the CCIE Lab exam, such as advanced Quality of Service (QoS) and Layer 3 functionality. You're best off biting the bullet and purchasing a 3550 or renting 3550 rack time. Shawn K.
