What CCNA router to practice on?

dacashflo

My previous CCNA cert. expires this month (Oct. 06). and im planning on getting recertified. When I took my test back in '03 i practiced on the 2501 Router. Is this router still ok to use or should i upgrade to a new and better router?

thanks in advaced

For typing commands, a 2500 will cover everything. You'll need 16/16 mem to run an IOS that supports trunking (router on a stick). You'll need a 2516 or 2503(?) if you want to learn all the ISDN commands.
