in CCNA & CCENT
Good evening.

I am currently studying for my CCENT and plan to take the exam in a few weeks. I have been studying with TrainSignal's CBT videos and Packet Tracer.
Afterward I will be working on my CCNA, and later CCNA Security. I am wanting to build a home lab to get physical equipment experience, that I will be able to add to so I can study for later exams.

I am wanting to go with equipment that supports IOS 15, as well, so what is recommended? I am wanting to stay cheap, but I don't expect $30 routers to be compatible with IOS 15. What am I looking for?

Thanks!

    Just off the top of my head I would guess 1841's. There may be some 800 series that run 15. Cheap and ios 15 probably don't go in the same sentence :). Somebody else would probably chime in with a better answer.

    Yeah, I would be willing to buy a router or switch at a time around $250, if IOS 15 devices could be had for that. If not, 12.4 is supposed to be pretty close to 15...right?

    Strangely, the 2801, 2821, and 3825 seem to run slightly cheaper than the 1841 in the places I've looked.
