Hi Kurt,
I can't comment on the question of which version but as far as ATM goes and assuming your motivation for getting a switch is only to prepare for the lab, from a cost efficiency point of view, I think it's far more economical to just rent some rack time. While I suppose it possible to buy an ATM switch from Ebay and resell it after you pass the lab, who knows in advance how much the difference will be between what you pay for it and what you get for it later.
Rack time today isn't expensive and you don't have to involve yourself in configuring the ATM switch itself which is beyond the scope of the lab and potentially a big time black hole.

Hi everyone,
I'm racking and configuring routers/switches to prepare for my lab studying.
What is the exact IOS that I should be using to mimic what I'll see during the Exam.
I know there is an IOS change beginning in August, but I'm taking the exam in July at RTP.
Some literature recommends ENT+ 12.2(15)T7. This is no longer available that I can see....
If I use ENT+ 12.2.23a or something newer than that, is that acceptable and/or recommended?
Also, I have ATM ports in my routers, but no ATM switch......will I be able to do lab scenarios
by back-to-backing them, or would you recommend getting an ATM switch...and if so, which one?
Thanks.
