VLan Help

[june03]

My home lab consist of the following:

cisco 827--------Pix 501---------Catalyst 2900

I was looking at the following routers:
cisco 2611 w/ 1 T1 card
cisco 2621 w/ 1 T1 card

What i want my setup to be is:

cisco 827--------Pix 501---------cisco 2600-------Catalyst 2900

I want to be able to setup VLan's, the 2900 switch has 10/100 ports, but i know 2611 are only 10mb ports and the 2621 are 10/100. Though this is for studying purposes, should it matter what speed the ports are for my home
lab? I also want to route between vlans.

Im currently studying for my ccna and will be going onto my CCNP. The reason for the t1 card, is when im ready to built my ccnp lab, i will already have the router with a t1 card already setup. Though 2500's are cheaper, i do prefer the 2600. Which router would u guys prefer? june03

10 mb port on cisco router does not support vlan trunking.

Although 10mb port wont't support vlans (isl, dotq0 you can opt for the less expensive 2500's and use multi-port with will allow only 2 vlan's per switch.
