in CCNA & CCENT
Hi all:
I checked ciscokits.com and there are 2 kinds: 8/8 and 16/16 router and a switch.
1.http://www.ciscokits.com/cisco-dual-2501-router-1924-ccna-kit/
2.http://www.ciscokits.com/cisco-dual-2501-1900-switch-ccna-kit/
Which on is the best for me to use for CCNA lab and for future lap as CCNP? Or I just need 2 router only, no switch? or must I need a switch?
3. cheap option http://www.ciscokits.com/cisco-dual-2501-8-8-router-ccna-kit/
Please give me some advice as you're all have experience using them. Thanks very much in advance.

Also, 16/16 is best."No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it's not the same river and he's not the same man." -Heraclitus

No, that is not a good option. If read through the FAQ you will see what gear is recommended for the exam.An expert is a man who has made all the mistakes which can be made. -

You are gonna need at least one 2950 maybe more. I cut corners and used a 2924 for some of the labs, but later had to buy a 2950 anyway.-Daniel -

While you're waiting or shopping around, use Packet Tracer to do some of your labs. Just message me if you aren't in NetAcademy and want a download link. -

Anyway, thanks for all your comments and tips and if there is a better idea please let me know. I appreciate your time.Don't fear to climb to a position, you will get there one day. Do your best...
