in CCNA & CCENT
Hi guys,
I've read through the FAQ but have fairly unique circumstance surrounding my setup. Due to the business I am in, we coincidentally have a number of Cisco devices laying around.
Would the following be sufficient for the CCNA?
2x Cisco 2611XM
2x Catalyst 3560
Is there anything I'm missing? I have a decent budget to purchase devices, but I obviously don't want to go overboard. I also have two spare Cisco ASA 5510s if that is of any use.
Thanks!

If you have the equipment I'd bump them from 2x to 3x both and you'll be really set. -

If you're planning on spending the cash to get two Catalyst 3560s, you can definitely get away with getting a 3550 or two as your other switches. If you've got the 3560s laying around, though, that's a better choice. That will actually carry you all the way through CCNP, and probably well into CCIE-territory. As for the routers, another two 2600XM-series should be more than enough to get you through CCNP and up to CCIE-studies as well.

I have the 3560s sitting in my office waiting to be used, so it's great to hear I can them fired up.
Thanks for the advice guys!
