Getting started

Hey guys, currently I'm in the middle of finishing up a couple of things in the next couple of months (AAS and CCNA Security), but I wanted to get ahead of the game and determine what I need for the CCNP. I have bought CCNP ROUTE/SWITCH/TSHOOT simplified and I like them a lot better than the usual OCG. As for videos, I am definitely gonna use CBT Nuggets, but I heard INE is good to have too. What physical equipment do I need outside of using either packet tracer and GNS3, and when you pass one exam, how long does it last? Three years?

Chris Bryant's video series on Udemy has great reviews and seems comprehensive. I am about to dive into it next week. There was a good voucher deal over christmas so I bought them for $85. I used the fundemental videos to revise for CCNA and got plenty of Aha moments.
