Dear All, I've recently started active study on CCIE and have limited experience but CCNP knowledge on Cisco kit. I'm in the process of buying what I need and I need some advice on where to start and would like to find out how you guys started out. What do I need for my home lab? I've looked at auctions on Ebay, is it alright to buy second-hand? Is there IOS upgrades available free from Cisco? If any of you know a good link to a specific equipment list I need I'd be very grateful, I've had a look on the Cisco Routing and Switching Lab equipment list but they only had the following - no real specifics: 2500 series routers 2600 series routers 3600 series routers 4000 and 4500 series routers 3900 series token ring switches Catalyst 5000 series switches
I can only afford up to 3600 series routers, what can I do about the rest? Thank you for your help and I think this is a great group.
