MPLS-ATM Lab Setup Specifications

[microcisconet]

May i seek for guidance on what devices to purchase for the sole aim of studying for CCIP and SP?

What Routers are needed and with what NM card?.

What ATM switches are needed and what IOS and NM card should i be looking for in them?.

How many devices in total would be best suited for this lab?

I currently have some 2611XMs and 3640s but can't run ATM VPI/VCI on them, do i need a special card to do this or its not just supported on these platforms?

Thank you all

Hello,

Thanks for your willingness to help, unfortunately i knew of this site and dynamics but can't just understand it at all.

That was why i chose building my labs.

Any specification as per my initial request would be highly appreciated.

Regards
