Another question about equipment..

in CCNA & CCENT
Hello everyone. I am still very new to these forums and relatively new to Cisco. I skimmed the intro stickey here about purchasing equipment to setup a lab. I found a lab for sale on eBay here.

Just a few questions I have - Will it be sufficient for studying for my CCNA? Will I be able to study for the CCNP using this equipment as well? I am willing to add another router or switch(es) later on, but I don't want to have to start from scratch. Any answers / advice is much appreciated.

Thanks! :)

    Part of learning this stuff is in researching the hardware... these switches are pretty old and for ccnp you'll need L3 switches and these aren't it.

    Routers are fine, switches aren't.

    Too expensive for what it includes equipment wise. You can put together your own [better] lab for less.
