in CCNA & CCENT
Hey found this great site when looking for info on the CCNA. First off, and I'm sure people come and ask this question all the time but it is reasonable to assume that one could study and pass the CCNA in 4 months? I've already been introduced to cisco routers, (setup 10 2501s on three separate subnets with minimal help) as well as had a bit of background in networking (Network+)
Just asking seeing as I'd like to get the CCNA before I graduate in June, so I could hopefully start an internship before I go off to college.
Also I have access to roughly 12 2501 routers, 4 hubs, and two PCs at my school to configure as I see fit (the cisco class was dropped due to lack of interest
) and would like to know if this is adequate or will the lack of newer router versions and switches hurt my ability to learn all the required material?

Four months is definitely doable, especially with your prior experience. You'll probably want to supplement those 2501s with a 2520 for frame-relay and 2-3 2950 (or better) switches. Limitations of the 2501s are going to depend a great deal on the IOS. I have some that are 12.3 and some that are 11.x.
