fun,
Cisco use to host a couple but they are no longer available. Sites like internetworkexpert offer virtual labs but alas they are not free. GNS3 is free but requires an IOS and is not a virtualized/internet solution. It is an emulator. You may wish to check into some non-free software like...
Gene,
That sound quite interesting. May be a lot of fun. When you get close to completion let me know and I will see if I can put you in contact with some people.

gene,
In fact... You could go the "route" (no pun intended) of a "Learning Cisco" book that tailors to the CCNA. Same format that you mentioned but with the advantage of a Dynamips/GNS3/QEMU setup that demonstrates how to design and implement these technologies in addition to the physical lab...

I have used Apple in the past... I ran OSX from 10.1 to 10.3 (Panther) but did not really like the security aspects of the system at the time despite it's BSD implementation... funny thing is that a lot has changed regarding OSX and security from 10.4 up.. Just Google TrustedBSD!
I...
Bonked.. I agree with Gene.. Buy the Sybex book and get going.. Sybex also has an awesome IOS Commands book for CCNA... And finally buy the CiscoPress 31 Days before the CCNA! That will help you to ensure that you did not miss anything. There is also a 31 days before the CCENT!
Good Luck...
Whats up Gene...
I would also mention the 3640 again.. My favorite.. They are like Gene's routers but bigger (and manlier)! LoL You can run SDM on the 3640 as well.... And if you run GNS3 with a 7200 IOS you can also run the Cisco Configuration Professional (CCP). The 3640 routers are 2U as...
I think the truly difficult part of the CCNA is the fact that it covers so much information. Every other Cisco cert (and most other certifications as well) tend to focus on one subject where the CCNA can jump from wireless, to voice, to frame relay, to route redistribution etc... With the other...
MrBee,
Congratulations... Don't forget to update your signature to list your new certification achievement. So what's next? CompTIA Linux+ or another??? Cisco, Juniper or Microsoft... There are also some other good Linux certs out there such as the LPIC certifications and the Red Hat RHCT and...
The Server+ is currently at the 2009 edition..

That said, all recommended self study guides/books on the CompTIA website are for the 2005 edition which will be retired at the end of this year. You may want to purchase a 2005 edition...
I3astards,
It took me 7 months for the CCNA and about the same for the CCNA Security. Working on the wireless now.
GNS3 is good and a actual lab is also a pretty good idea. Just take a peek around this forum for recommendations there.
This forum and the Cisco Learning Network really helped...
Gene/Lerdalt,
Good posts guys. I would include www.blindhog.net but other than that you seem to have covered it all. Sorry that I have not been as active as I used to be lately. I will be back in about a year... In the meantime shoot me and email Dalt... Yours is the only number that I am...
Burt.. Try this!
# tar xvzf Windows.tar.gz
# cd Windows
# ./configure
# make
# make install
And make sure you follow it with this!
#make uninstall
LoL
Coach,
A real lab is definitely the way to go but do supplement with GNS3!

Manny,
You will be happy that you ordered the 2511! That will assist with the cabling! I would wait on any voice equipment until you finish your CCNP and are ready to move on to voice! You will not need much/any equipment for the CCNA Voice but here is your certification path (at least one...
Hello Guys,
I am back. I just wanted to drop in and Spam the forum real quick like.
I am working on the CCNA Wireless now so any info there will be greatly appreciated. I am also looking at the ENcE certification (computer/network forensics utilizing the enCase software). Apparently, if you...
RFC's 1097 and 2324 are better reads in my opinion.. Check this link guys!

Just thought that I would share a brief explanation by Scott Morris on the subject of CBAC (Contect-based access control) versus RACLs (Reflexive access lists)! Tim and I were discussing this the other day so here it is!
