@George, consider that you will not be config-teeing each day. Nor
setting up cisco gear all the time. What happens when you have to do a
inhouse fiber backbone? Or calculate Add/Drops? For networking, it is
essential to build on the core.

Some thoughts for you = How would you extend an ethernet cable over
the 100metres? Ok you'd want to add more switches, what about bpdu
considerations? You may also do a repeater, what happens to the frames
and chances of collisions/delays in a busy network? How would you
design a network based on traffic coming from various reosurces such
as Servers, Printers and Shares? Suppose your next network upgrade is
to voip, how will this traffic be affected by bursy internal
resources? How can you connect multiple routers to create correct
routings at various levels.

I'm sure you know these issues and I think for a starter they are
important things to learn.

HTHs.
