Lab sort of setup, need help on the next step

I currently have a 1841 router and two 2950 24 port switches.

I was wondering if anyone could suggest any good labs and/or ways to set this up so I can get ready for my CCNA.

Thanks!

    You can do what's called "Router on a stick", you can setup multiple VLAN's on both switches, the router will be used to accomplish inter-VLAN communications.

    I would suggest you to go for GNS3 Emulator and refer CBT nuggets, They are really awesome, you will have best LAB practice if you go through CBT nuggets LAB Videos..

    GNS3 is great for doing labs, and they also have many labs there to run through.

    Im also a big fan of CBT CCNA Labs. They take you through creation of a small branch office with one router and two-three switches. They also use another router to simulate upstream internet connections.

    I'd reccomend using GNS3 as well, or buying one more router to add to your lab. That way you can also lab routing examples.
