in CCNA & CCENT
If I get a 2950 with 12 ports instead of 24 ports for CCNA study purposes?
There is a decent deal on the table and just want to make sure the 12 port isn't missing anything the 24 port has...um...other than 12 extra ports.

It'll make a big difference. . . what are you going to do with the other twelve routers?
Hell, if the 12-port is a good deal, then go for it. I'm fairly sure, and I'll be corrected if I'm wrong, that the only difference is the ports and not anything to do with functionality and software.

Wow, I'm pretty stoked. On ebay I made a "best offer" on the 2950 just to keep it in my watch list. The buy it now was for $225 and every other 12 port was like around $270+. I would take it for like $200 but just to give myself time and write this thread I made a really low best offer of $170..

He accepted!
Good feedback too so I'm not too worried. Man, great deal."You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't how hard you hit; it's about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward. How much you can take, and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done!" - Rocky -

That's excellent! Not a bad day, when you save yourself $30 off your low-ball price. Have fun breaking. . . err. . . "configuring" the new switch.

Thanks DM. Looks like I finally got my switch.
Seraphus, I hear you get your own little icon thingy like webmaster when you hit 2000.
