Hello i'm a newbie studying for networking certs, ccnp,ccie. I was thinking of buying the 3620 router to help with my studies and wanted to know if i did purchase this router what modules/interfaces should i get with it.Again its for my home lab setup.Thanks in advance happy holiday.
 
You get one Ethernet built in. I guess a pair of serials would be a must have for certification.

Of course this assumes you will be getting a 2nd router to build a 'WAN' with.

If you get that 2nd router of course, you could perhaps buy an ISDN module so you can configure some dial backup scenarions (you'd also need an ISDN simulator which you can probably get off Ebay)
 
Well i have a 2612 router, 3 2501's a 3524/2924 switch and a 2511 access server.I want to set up a home lab with this equipment and wanted to know what modules should i get with the 3620 to practice the different protocols and lan/wans
