2950 for ccna lab q?

nel

Would a 12 port 2950 suffice for a ccna lab or would i be looking at a 24 port instead? its just im finding the 24 porters pretty pricey at the min wherever i look!

on another note what would you say is a fair price for a 2950?

A 12-port 2950 is more than enough for CCNA, you probably wont use half the ports unless you have that many devices to plug into it anyway...

I'm not sure what is a "fair" price for one of them, you can search the posts here...there have been many post recently related to lab equipment...

I just picked up a 12 for $122.50 and a 24 for $128.50. I saw a 24 with 4 bad ports go for $71 the other day. I'd say $100-150 depending on circumstances. I probably could have done better if I was more patient, but I just wanted to get going.

Wow, just a $6 difference between the 12-port and the 24-port! great deal for one and not the other?

I'd get the one with the bad ports unless you plan on using it in production. I have a 2950 that only has about four or five good ports left on it. Runs like a charm though!
