I’m looking into how to best study for the CCNP exams. While studying for me CCNA, I used a simulator (routersim) which was useful, but clearly has its limitations. I am wondering what equipment would be adequate to really learn the CCNP material. I have heard from others that the amount of equipment needed to sufficiently setup a home lab for the CCNP is so expensive, that your money would be better spent on paying to rent some rack time somewhere. There is a lot of conflicting information out on the web, but I have gotten a lot of great information out of this site, so I hope that some of you may be able to offer some advice. I apologize if this question has already been asked and answered, but I searched through previous postings and have not seen anything on this topic. Thanks in advance!
