i have no experience or any clue as to how to hook this stuff up.is there anywhere that explains this to a complete newb?

Webmaster

The following shows how you can hook up the routers. Replace Hostb with your switch and connect hosts to that one.

Didn't want to create another thread but would this be ok for a CCNA cisco lab?

2x 2507 router
1x 1924 switch

Also, what's the latest firmware I would want running on the switch and router?

And will I be able to prepare for CCNP aswell with this equipment?

What about this?

Is that ok for a lab setup? Is that all I'll need for CCNA/CCNP?
