home lab question (need to know if I need more)

[holyrabbitear]

Just a quick question for those who have passed the CCNA..

I have 2 2501's, a uBR924, and a 1924-EN for my home lab. What I need to know is if this will provide enough hands on to pass the CCNA. Should I get a third router (ie. a 2524, 2521 or such)? Money is a real consideration at the moment.

What will I be missing hands on with the equipment that I have? I really hate sims and prefer digging in and playing around to learn (I like learning to troubleshoot, not just having to know the "right answer&quot.

Thank you in advance,

Rob

You may want to consider a third router but if money is tight than don't worry about it. When you move into CCNP however, you may want to consider a third router and possibly Boson's router sim so you can test different lines and some other features you could not possibly afford ;-) You have everything that you would need to pass the test. Good luck on your studies!

holyrabbitear,

Are you using the UBR924 for a cheap VOIP simulation?

get a 2524/25 with two DB-60 and a BRI-U, will allow you
to do almost all of the CCNP BSCI stuff, assuming you have
IOS 12.1 or better (IMO).
