Nocturnal

Hey Guys!!! This is my first post here. I was working on my CCNA five years ago and then I put it on hold because I got a job in a Central Office working on phone switches, T1s, and DS0s. It was interesting for awhile, but I got bored with it.

Anyway, I'm working with lots of CCNAs, CCNPs, and CCIEs now and I want to get this thing banged out...the CCNA, that is.

I have the new two book set by Cisco, an old Sybex router sim, a Catalyst 1912, and a 2524 with a BRI card.

I'm thinking of getting another router...maybe a 2612 or something, but I don't have enough money to build a super duper setup...I wish I did, though, because I love playing with hardware!!!

Can anyone recommend a good router sim? The one I have only has 1900 series switches on it and the vlan commands are WAY different on the 2950 series.

Thanks for your help...looking forward to comparing notes with you.

another good router sim is boson netsim, however this is fairly expensive but has a series of labs to follow etc
