Hi The 1600's are really not the best choice, but they're not a bad choice either. Negitives: They don't support the advanced routing protocols without maxing out the image, e.g. BGP. You have to buy WICs to add serial (at least on 1605). Positives: They are cheap. You can add WICs for additi

Cisco 1605 - enough for CCNP?
