Fixed the subject for you. While it's *possible* to do IPX labs entirely in GNS3/Dynagen, it's tough because of the switch port translation you have to do and the fact that in my experience, the IPX labs often require "real" switching work to be done even on something that is primarily a layer 3 lab. It's good practice, but tough to deal with in an all-GNS3 environment.
I'm going to keep the following thoughts very brief out of respect of the fact that this is IPX's list and I know they don't like anyone talking much about competitive products. Narbik: I use that as well as the IPX materials. The vast majority of the routing labs require no switching config beyond some VLAN assignment. I have an all-virtual Narbik topo that uses one large Dynagen switch for all the router ports, and I just edit that .NET file to do VLAN assignments if necessary. Other materials that translate well to an all-virtual environment include the micro-labs at http://hackingcisco.blogspot.com. These are not comprehensive, in-depth labs like the IPX workbooks, more like micro feature labs to demonstrate one command or feature, but they work well in an all-virtual lab.
