I guess it depends on what you do in your work environment. If you work
with Cisco routers and switches during the course of your duties I would say
that you should be able to fill in the blanks through book study. If you do
not get to touch equipment at work you might want to buy a couple of older
(used) Cisco routers, possibly 2500 series. If you are familiar
(comfortable) with Ethernet look for routers with token ring interfaces and
get a token ring hub (you need to have some understanding of token ring
anyway, and the token ring stuff seems to be quite a bit cheaper given the
lighter demand). In my opinion a couple of cheap 250Xs with token ring and
BRI interfaces would work great for CCNP study (my guess is that you will
have to buy NT1s for the BRI interfaces). Just my .02.

Subject: Advise....Should I purchase routers ? How do you study for an
exam?
Do you use routers to study as a study tool to pass your CCNP? Does it help
you?
I am contemplating on purchasing some routers to assist me in passing the
exams and learn the equipment. My company will not send me to class, but
will pay for my books. I pasted the CCNA, but I missed the ACRC test by
three questions, now I am gun shy. Money is an object, I don't have much.
However, I understand it is my future and I should invest in myself.
PLEASE...answer me this... what routers should I purchase, what books would
be valuable to buy, most of all, how do you study? I need your help.
Please take the time to reply.
Regards.
