in CCNA & CCENT
I have no experience with Cisco hardware, but as an Integration Engineer I believe it could help my current position as well as my career in the future.
Do any of you have any suggestions for hardware I could purchase/training material? I have seen CiscoKits.com but I would like to know what successful CCNAs have used. Thank you.

why dont you download Dynagen and have a play with that.
It is an excellent router emulator. The only problem is you need to source a cisco IOS.
as for training material..
cbt nuggets, cisco press books, google :P -

You can grab a 2501 for under $25.00 shipped if you look on ebay. You'll also need a transceiver since they have AUI ports.
Another option is to get a 2516, which has RJ45 ports.
Ciscokits is OK, just stay away from their kits that include 1900's -

Thanks, guys. Good to know that the typical resources are still valid for Cisco. Knowing to avoid the 1900s is also the perfect kind of practical advice I need. I really have no familiarity with the hardware and might have purchased something I shouldn't. Thanks for the Dynagen tip, Alan. I had not heard of that at all.
