Hi Everyone, This is my first post..I'm currently studying for the CCNP, I have passed Switching and Routing and are presently studying BCRAN which I hope to sit on the 4th of April. I work for a company who outsource all the WAN infrastructure, they are looking at bringing the WAN inside for myself and another member of staff to work on late Novemeber..
As I'm going through my CCNP with my very modest Lab (missing Frame Relay Switch and ISDN kit) I'm passing without a issue, but am really now toying with the idea of spending alot of money on building myself a complete lab (Cat5k, Frame Relay Switch, ISDN, Token).. I can spend $10,000 AU.. Cisco is something that I want to really pursue but I'm unsure if in my current position Ill ever get to really get dirty with this stuff, or if I should build a huge lab for myself at Home and look for a new position later in the year when I have built up my practical skills.. I know the investment would be worthwhile, and I have a passion to acheive my CCNP and CCIE... Should I invest the money in this hardware or do what I was going to do, and buy a really fast car... I need to spend a bit to get my lab off the ground.. Speaking to Albert Lu, he really recommends buying the kit! I'm very confused a college says I dont need any lab for my CCNP and just to wait until I'm ready for my CCIE.. Any advice please! I'm 21 years of age and have my CNE, CNA, CCA, CCNA Thankyou! *confused* Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=38031&t=38031 -------------------------------------------------- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
