Re: CCNA/CCNP home Lab setup [7:60727]
I've found that it's useful to have a variety of kit, and as many routers as possible. Cisco prices on eBay have fallen through the floor. A 4000 series with NP-4Ts is a good frame switch. 2500 are good workhorses, best to get one with an ISDN BRI (I didn't and regretted it). Once you have a couple of ethernet-based routers, don't discount token-ring 2500s if they are cheap or any 3000 series router. 3000s are ludicrously cheap at the moment and can run 2500 IOS 12.0 images. Don't buy multiple 2600s unless you're rich. Two 12-port switches allows better practise that one 24-port. rgds Marc McManus, Robert BGI SDC wrote: Could someone give me advice on what I would need (models) for a home lab setup for my CCNA/CCNP training?

RE: CCNA/CCNP home Lab setup [7:60727]
do you plan on doing lab practice on ATM Frame Relay ISDN Modem Dial If so then you need 2 or 3 routers and atleast one switch. The routers need capability for all the above since those topics are covered in the various CCNP test. Its not necessary to do labs for the CCNP, but it helps.

Hi there, I suggest get 3 2600 series routers. Even though 2500 would also do, 2600 has some value added services which the 2500 don't offer. Just a thought! :) There are other things needed which I am sure others will help you out with. Good luck with your lab set-up.

RE: Home lab setup FRAME SWITCH [7:58204]
Elijah, I use a 2521 as a frame switch in my home lab and that is enough for me. Keep in mind that it only has four serial interfaces, so if you want to do more frame connections, you will need the 2522 or 2523 which have ten serial interfaces. You have more routers in your lab than I do. I only have six routers (not including the 2521). So, the 2521 works well for the number of routers I have.
