in CCNA & CCENT
Hello everyone,
I bought some home lab equipment that were used to practice for my CCNA and I plan on working my way up to CCIE.
I received my 3750 switches today, but one of them had a broken gigabit port.
Will this hinder me with any future labs?

in general, no it won't.
But, if the broken parts are still on the inside, that could lead to a switch failure in the future.
and, for the ccnp and ccie, you want switches that run version 15 of the ios. and a 3750 cant do that. -

Thank you. I looked inside and couldn't find any pieces, it seems to have been pulled straight out.
Once I'm ready to study for my CCNP, I'll look into getting IOS 15 switches.
