For the CCNA, it's just my own opinion that you really don't need to get crazy with hardware purchases. I used the CCNA book from Cisco press as my primary study guide and the Todd Lammle Sybex guide as a second reference. Obviously, hands-on router experience is best (and it sounds like you have some), but for study purposes for the test you can get by with the relatively adequate router simulators out there, like the "e-trainer". From my own experience, the test was actually more about network theoreticals/fundamentals than knowing every single "config t" option. -- TriLUG mailing list : http://www.trilug.org/mailman/listinfo/trilug TriLUG Organizational FAQ : http://trilug.org/faq/ TriLUG Member Services FAQ : http://members.trilug.org/services_faq/ TriLUG PGP Keyring : http://trilug.org/~chrish/trilug.asc
