The Juniper labs of today : When $#& gets REAL
Everyone goes on and on and on about how great the olive is. I really don't want to go that route personally.
I would like to acquire the equipment. I know, it is going to cost money. I've thought of that....you gotta pay to play sometimes.
That said,
What do I need to get for the JNCIS/JNCIP level certifications. I am still working on my JNCIS-SEC (own one SRX210B) but I have an interest in building a functional home lab. Do the J-series routers still do the trick? If so they are certainly in my price range. How many do I need?
12 port EX2200's are available for around 300-500.00 USD sometimes new.
Would 4 J2300's and a couple EX2200's do it in addition to my SRX210?

One guy's shopping list listed :
2x Juniper J2300= 2x Fastethernet port, 2x T1 serial port, JUNOS version 9.3R4.4
1x Juniper J4300= 2x Fastethernet port, 6x T1 serial port(3x JX-2T1-RJ48-S PIM), JUNOS version 9.3R4.4
2x Juniper EX3200-24P= 24x Fastethernet port, layer 3 switching, POE
1x Juniper EX4200-24P= 24x Fastethernet port, layer 3 switching, POE
1x Juniper EX2200-24P= 24x Fastethernet port, layer 3 switching, POE
1x Juniper SRX210H-POE(firewall/JUNOS router)= 2x Gigabitethernet port, 6x Fastethernet port (**the 6 fastethernet ports can double as a 6 port L2 switch**), **NO T1/E1 interface module, JUNOS 9.5R1.8
1x Juniper SRX210HE-POE(firewall/JUNOS router)= 2x Gigabitethernet port, 6x Fastethernet port (**the 6 fastethernet ports can double as a 6 port L2 switch**), T1/E1 interface module, JUNOS 9.5R1.8+ -

For most of the tracks, multiple SRXs will do almost all of the blueprint topics/tasks. Just make sure to try to get an H model as the high memory will help when you create multiple logical routers/systems. For SEC, a couple SRXs is all you need.
