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.

RE: CCNA/CCNP home Lab setup [7:60727]
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.

I would get three 2500 and a switch. Unless you are going to upgrade to a CCIE lab, I would say that 2600s might be a little $$$ ""Kenan Ahmed Siddiqi"" wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... > Hi there, > I suggest get 3 2600 series routers.

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?
