I have finally decided to work on my CCNA. I usually am around the Microsoft and CompTIA forums but will probably be around the Cisco forums for a while, back a few years ago I took the Cisco CCNA classes at my local Community College but have forgetten a lot of what I learned about configuring Cisco devices so please forgive me if I have some newbie type questions. The plan is to take the new 640-802 exam sometime next year, my main objective is to learn how to configure cisco equipment and the CCNA is only iceing on the cake for me. Right now I have ordered this book from amazon.com to start out with.

Also, I have routers and switches I can pratice with from work. I might even end up picking up some stuff from ebay. My Linksys Wireless router is getting old so I thought about picking up a Cisco Wireless router and maybe a Cisco ASA firewall from newegg.com.

I know they probably won't be enough for CCNA but I thought I might learn a good amount by configuring them via CLI and using them in my home network. What do you guys think?
