CCNA - Committing and One Question

Moldygr33nb3an

Decided to commit to the CCNA. I was going to go for the CISSP, but realized I've been kind of avoiding Cisco because networking - as fascinated as I am with it - is my weak point.

I have two 2650 switches, and three 1841 routers.

Two routers have one T1 DSU/CSU WICs

One router has two T1 DSU/CSU WICs

This was a kit I kind of pieced together from eBay.

I built this lab from reading these build your own lab blogs littered across the net.


Should I expand on this to get those most out of my lab? My main goal is CCNA - Security, however, learning is the purpose here.


If there is a previous thread, please post the hyperlink.


Thank you

I just read the FAQ. I noticed it was from 2005. Does this still apply?

if by 2650 switches, you actually meant 2950 switches then what you have should be adequate for the ccna.

what is more important is what version of the ios the equipment is running. For the 2950 switches you prefer to run the enhance image which only runs on the c/g/t models. And, you'd like at least the advipservices feature set for the routers (has the security features and ipv6) and you will need version 15 of the ios to run CCP which you going to need for the ccna:security.

Yes! Forgot to flip that little 6 around. I will check the IOS versions and services tonight. Thank you
