in CCNA & CCENT
I got a Cisco 2600 series router and the Sybex CCNA 5th edition by Todd Lammle. Is there anything else I should get before i start learning CCNA?

    If you're still fairly new to networking, i'd set the router aside for a while and read that book until around chapter 4 - i think in chapter 4 you start learning about the IOS.
    Fantastic. The project manager is inspired.

    Check out the following section in our CCNA FAQ: "I want to setup my own home lab what should I buy and how do I set it up?" for a list of topics with suggestions on home labs.

    Well mid book it would be good to have another router and a DCE/DTE serial cable so you can link them, mess with routing protocols and CDP etc.
