Gear for 640-461

What kind of gear to i need to build a lab for this test? If i build a lab with a 2811 router and CME 8.0 or 8.5 will that be fine? The test covers CME 8.x and nothing before correct?

Also, will one router do or will i need multiple? I already have an ASA5505 and 1841ISR router, will need to get the POE switches and phones

I was able to get the CCNA Voice done with a 2610XM, a 2950 switch and three 7940 phones with power adapters.

I had to really study screen shots of Unity and Cisco Configuration Assistant, but it was able to be done.

I do suggest three phones for things like testing call forwarding. That way you can forward one phone to another and have the third to do a test call.

Good luck!

Hi guys, I just finished my CCNA and CCNP. I want to go ahead and do CCIE however I need a better job. So I am going toward CCNA Voice.

How much does the equipment cost? I used GNS3 and several switches for CCNP R and S.

The cost of equipment varies. If you look on ebay it will be different from seller to seller. If you look on ciscokits.com then it could be cheaper or expensive.
