Ordered my first CCNA LAB parts off eBay

MachX85

On friday I bought enough equipment to build a decent home lab to practice CCNA topics. The lab includes...

2950 24 port switch 12.1
2621 XM 128D/32F Router 12.4
2x 1721 98D/32F Router 12.4
2x WIC-1T Serial cards (for the 1721s)
4 port Serial Module for 2621 XM Router (Configured as frame relay switch)
2x 3 ft serial crossover cables


Any Ideas for labs I could do with this equipment or a site with good labs to use? Thanks

I dont mind my friend.

2950 24 port switch 12.1 $89.00
2621 XM 128D/32F Router 12.4 $199.00
2x 1721 98D/32F Router 12.4 $120.00 total
2x WIC-1T Serial cards (for the 1721s) $69.98 total
4 port Serial Module for 2621 XM Router (Configured as frame relay switch) $59.99
2x 3 ft serial crossover cables $18.99 total.

= $556.96

I might have been able to save a bit if I bid on these items but I got greedy and ordered them all at once with Buy it Now so I had a better idea of what i was getting and so they would arrive sooner.

I made sure to get the highest version of IOS I could find so everything but the switch is 12.4

I have to say it did brake my wallet but I wanted to take the test knowing fully how to configure and troublshoot real equipment. With that in mind and thinking ahead to using this equipment for ccnp, I think it was a good investment. plus you can always sellem back to eBay
