INE has a good comparison that covers the differences as well. Here is the current live stock for sale, or you can just click the picture below. The cheapest 3560 for sale is about $600, with many heading up toward $1000. Of course it's always best to use what's in the lab- however, after a few hours of digging around in the forums, on Cisco, and in the blogs, the short version of the most commonly mentioned differences between the 35 that are relevant to the CCIE lab are: In that previous post I have the live R&S lab specification, which states Cisco is using 3560s. Since the 3560s are triple and sometimes quadruple the price, many (smart) folks are wondering if you can get by with the 3550s. As I write this 3550s are going for about $200 on eBay, click here or on the picture to see a live listing of all of the 3550s for sale on eBay. I certainly can't find fault with buying your own equipment if you have the funds, power, and space- so for those rats who are thinking about furnishing their own lab, I thought I'd do some digging on the 3550 versus the 3560. I listed the pros and cons on why I decided to go with rack rentals versus buying. In my previous post on CCIE Lab Equipment, I talked a bit about alternatives for your hands on rack time.
