Hi All,
can you please advise, is this kit good enough for CCNA and basic to CCNA VOICE (I know I will need phones etc)?

2 x Cisco 2950 Switches
1 x Serial Crossover Cable to simulate a WAN link

Price: 99£ inc delivery

Thank you

Also I have just found 3 routers for 55£ - 3 Cisco routers - 2x 2600 series 2612 and 1x Cisco 1760.

Can you please advise whether is worth to go for any of the two?

Thank you

I would first want to know how much memory and flash are in those routers before commenting on their usefulness. If they're well equipped, then they're both good enough for the CCNA.

Though as always, buying pre-built kits is generally not recommended as they often contain inferior equipment at inflated prices, and researching the models, memory requirements, modules, etc. is a big part of the learning process.

Thank you for your reply, I guess I will have to chek this out and and then make a decision.

Can someone confirm that this switch is good enough for CCNA home lab?

Cisco WS-C2950-12 C2950 12 Port Ethernet Switch * | eBay UK

It is 12 ports 2950 that everybody seems to be choosing for labs.

Thank you
