Hmm...guess polls are disabled in the forum. I know this is in the FAQ but there are so many answers and I can't decide which one to go with.
Part 1: I just recieved my 2612 today (woo-hoo). It has 1 ether, 1 token, console, and aux. I have 2 WIC-1T's on the way. Only needed one for this router but got a good deal and figured I'd need more in the future anyway.
Part 2: I just won an auction for a 12 port 2950 switch and expect to have that sometime next week. Obviously that'll either be coming out of my token port or ether port on my 2612.
Part 3: And this is where I'd like some opinions. I can't for the life of me decide on which router to get for the 2nd one, and probably last one until after I pass the CCNA. I might buy another switch to complete the set but want the router first for now. So which do I go with? I was just going to get another 2612 but who the hell needs two token ring routers.
I looked in the FAQ and see so many options ranging from 25xx's up to 26xx's. Do I get a 2610, 2611, 2612, 2613??? I want this to be scalable as well. I noted on the cisco blueprint the 2610's could be substituted for some of the more expensive equipment. Should I get a router with BRI interfaces so that I can practice ISDN? Is that practicle since ISDN is not as hot?
Just looking for opinions. And a bit of boredom as well. Sitting in at home on a Friday night doesnt help.
