Setting up a lab

huafist

I've decided I'm going to go ahead and set up a lab for my studies from here on out. I have ordered 3 2610XM routers, and 3 Catalyst 2950 switches. Soon, the fun will begin

Have you got a rack for those?

So when are you planning to give CCNA?

Yep, sure do.

Well I was planning on going ahead and taking it in a couple of weeks, but now I'm going to wait until I get everything here and get my lab set up, then shoot for 2 weeks after that.

That's a good idea. All the best!!

Sounds cool. I plan on ordering a lab soon as well. I think I'm going to get the 2610 or 2611XM routers x3 and cisco 2950 switches.

Synseq! I think I've been hearing you say that since a while ago! =p

If you've done your research, but you are just unsure about actually getting the lab, I can tell you right now: It was well worth it for me! It's an awesome feeling to not rely on simulations which may/may not offer the full range of commands! (or may be buggy...)

good luck everyone with your lab purchases and have fun labbing!
