Congrats. You are going to love routing tcp/ip vol i.

Good stuff.

2650 is a nice little router. You get a fasteth interface without paying for an XM model

You should have kept your back straight and lifted it with your legs

Going to take the CCNA next month, i promise.

Are there any CCNA/CCNP book-on-ipod type of deals out there? that'd be awesome if i could listen to some cisco stuff while at the gym. (i think)

Going to pick up a 3550 or two over the next 3 or 4 months so i can have fun with BCMSN.

The information is probably good, but the samples put me to sleep. It didn't seem like something I could get into, but you might want to look into it.

wow, that stuff would put me to sleep.

I have a 2620 running 12.3, a 2650 is not much different

Last I heard you can't run 12.4 on them

If you get 12.4 to work let me know and I'll try it on my 2620

2650 you can put more memory in it thus supporting 12.4

According to the Cisco Feature Navigator, the 2600 series only supports 12.3. For 12.4 you need a 2600xm or newer.

the 2650's are 128/32. From what i understand, they will run 12.4..

kryolla

I know because I have a 2650 with 12.4

If you want to install 32MB flash, a Boot ROM upgrade is needed for most 2600's

I've seen the upgrade ROM on ebay for between $35-75.

Darthn3ss

the 2650 supports 128/32 out of the box. no boot room upgrade necessary.

What is Net Academy? I did my CCNA by the Cisco book set.

Thank you,
