Hi All,
After played around with some routing protocols et al in my last job, I have decided to start studying for my CCNA certification. What I need to know from you guys with experience is what books (Cisco, Sybex...) and router sims are, in your opinion, the best quality for the 640-801 exam.
Also, if I decided to set up a test lab, what would be the best hardware to get? Any info you could provide for me would be appreciated, otherwise I will just have to take a chance

Thanks in advance
