in CCNA & CCENT
Hello everyone. Well going to start my CCNA path soon and have the Cisco Press books for the CCENT 1 & 2 as well as CBT Nuggets. I reading the Sybex good pick up too. I plan on studing for next 2 months or so. I do not have much expierence with routers and switches besides installing them and that is about it. Everything been Windows world for me. I know concept and that is about it. I am looking at using dynamips for practice exam as do not really have the money for a full lab and not sure what routers or switches to purchase as not much expierence. I also have packet tracer too. Any advice?

I haven't used the Sybex books but others here like them and the Ciscopress books are good. Others have also stated that the CBTnugets videos are good as well. Dynamips is good but real equipment is probably better. You can go here for a good over view of what lab equipment you might want: CCNA Lab Main Post Summary | NetworkWorld.com Community
and here for some great tools such as command memorizers, sims and a lab workbook: ConfigureTerminal.com - CCNA, CCDA, CCNP, CCDP, CCIP, CCVP, CCIE resources - EBooks, free content, training and more..
