Thanks Bogdan.
Well I also strongly believe Dynamips is the best tool for us. Big thanks to those who created it. However there are bugs in everything & we should be aware about those.
Many thanks mate!!!

Issues with NM-16ESW:
* Cannot configure VLANs from config mode (only vlan database)
* Cannot change VTP Mode
* Cannot do ISL trunking
* Cannot enable bpdu-guard on interfaces
* Cannot do private VLANs
* Cannot do PAgP / LACP
* Cannot set switch ports to nonegotiate
* Cannot change SDM (Switch Database Templates) ).
I don't remember exactly where I found them (somewhere on the
dynamips forums, as far as I remember :) ).
Also, from what I remember, NM-16ESW cannot do .1q tunnelling.
(correct me if I'm wrong on this one)
Also, another problem I had with dynamips was the one discussed
recently on the list - layer 3 ports on a NM-16ESW not coming up on the
first try.
While this might seem like a long list, don't let it discourage you
from using dynamips! I did about 90% of my lab preparation on dynamips,
and it _definitely_ is a very good solution for those of us not
affording a full equipment rack (or hundreds of hours of lab rentals).
