Building a Lab
grayfox587
Well finally i am getting around to building a lab for my CCNA and i was wondering if you guys have any suggestions on gear i should purchase. I currently have 3 2900 switches and 2 2600 routers, that's all i have so any advice on any other routers or switches plus cabling would be greatly appreciated
time to order some books!

2900XL or 2950? Ideally you want a 2950 or newer. The 2900XL series has a slightly different command structure than current switches so they're not as good to learn from.
You'll want a couple WIC-1T cards and DB60 cables for them. Apart from that, you're pretty much set for CCNA.
