I am working on BCMSN.
I purchased a couple of used 250X routers and routersim's Network Visualizer (full version). This was a plenty good enough setup to study for the ccna.
Now, most of the information covered on the BCMSN deals with 6500/4500 - not supported by Network Visualizer. I looked at Boson - CCNP package - it's a bit pricey at almost 500 dollars and it is out of date and geared for the old pre jan 2007 CCNP.
Needless to say - the cost of a 6500 is way way out of reach...
So, I'm looking for some advice on the best route for "hands on" - looks like it's old boson or maybe renting time on a rack.
If renting time on a rack, suggestions are welcome.
What's your thoughts???
I can't be the first guy to not have a 6500 to work on! =)
Thanks,
Dan
