CCNP Home Lab
Hi, i'm getting started on my CCNP studies and i'm in the process of getting some routers together for my home lab.
Currently i have two 1721's running 12.4 IOS. I also have two 1601's running 12.0 IOS.
I would like to get one or two more. Do you guys think i should get more with 12.4 IOS or would something like 12.3 be sufficient since I already have two running 12.4.
I would like to get two more running 12.4 but the cost is a bit high, i was able to get the 1721's of ebay for pretty cheep ($200 AUD) but the only ones on there now with 12.4 are up around the $700 mark. Ciscokits has a 3640 for $184 US but delivery to Australia is $200 US so thats way to expensive...
so yea is two routers running 12.4 sufficient for CCNP?

You dont need 12.4 for ccnp, you need to understand base technology rather than ios features.If you are interested in buying 2950's or 2610's send me a pm, i'm in Melbourne so shipment shouldn't be so much.I've got lots of wic's and serial modules etc so let me know if your interested.Networking, sometimes i love it, mostly i hate it.Its all about the $$$$
