    the 2501's by themselves sell pretty cheap -- about $15 usd. There is only so much you can do with a 2501 though.

    this lab looks quite good however u may want to get a 2950 switch as you can use this for your ccnp studies aswell

    12.3 ios should be ok but ideally 12.4 would be great

    any more help please contact me

    ah thanks guys, well i've been searching the forums and i was thinking of setting up a lab like this

    1x2501
    2x2610
    1xC2950-24 maybe 2x if i can find some spare cash to purchase later on would that be sufficient for my CCNA preparation and maybe CCNP in the future?

    thanks in advance :D

    Well a 2501 can do alot of stuff with the right image of course...

    I would suggest using 12.2(15)T17, it includes IPv6, OSPFv3, RIPv6.
    You can swap the image when you need to do IS-IS labs. It wont do inter-vlan trunking either
    so you'll need a 2600 to do those kind of labs. You'd be surprised what a 2500 can do :)
    There is no place like 127.0.0.1
