Setting up a Cisco Lab at Home

[aoyawale]

Hi,

I need help setting up a cisco lab at home at a minimum cost. I'm looking at two 2600 Series Router due to VOIP capabilities and one 2950 Switch due to VLAN capabilties.

Does anyone have other suggestion on the models of Router and Switch to buy. Also, can anyone recommend a cheap but reliable source of used cisco equipment in the UK.

Thanks

They can ship international, but are based in Florida, USA.

I just bought the following from them:

Cisco 3620 MAR

NM-1V

VIC-2FXS

The router itself only cost $300.00 US

Hello,

I would try Ebay in the UK, I just searched the site and found a couple of 2950 switches and 2600 routers.

Hi

Why dont you buy one 1751V and one 2600 with voice module.It will cost less.

With the reduction, go for a PIX, which will add to your expertise.

Or for a router simulater on www.boson.com, which is a software cisco lab on your PC.
