Can anyone advise a site that sell old used/refurbished routers/switches at reasonable prices??
 
Superd04,

E-B-A-Y !!!!

eBay - eBay has tons of routers, switches, firewalls, cables etc. that you would need to create a CCNA, CCNP or CCIE lab.

I have bought more then 75 different Cisco routers, Cisco switches, Cisco hubs, and other computers, cables and racks for my network lab.

You just need to understand what it is you are looking for and read the auctions carefully, ask questions and check the Cisco site or Google to make sure you understand what you are buying.

Hope this helps!

Cheers mate.. will check on ebay.. is there anything you can recommend for use in CCNA and possibly CCNP labs.. cheap but effective?
 
Was looking at purchasing two of the cisco routers below with serial cable, for €250 delivered and all.. would this be a wise purchase for practice on ccna /ccnp labs?

Cisco 2501 Ethernet & Serial Router

Maximum memory: 16Mb Dram, 16Mb Flash and latest v11 Boot Roms

Running high end 12.3 IP Plus IOS (other IOS available)

2 Serial, 1 Ethernet interfaces
 
Superd04,

If that is 250 EUROS - that is about $318 American -

Seems a little on the high side but does include delivery, max RAM and FLASH, cables and updated ROM and IOS - something to be said for having everything all together in one purchase.

Just make sure you do a little looking around and see that YOU think it is a good price for YOUR area and for YOUR trouble.

And you really should have 3 routers and 2 switches for a complete CCNA lab.

Just my thoughts!
