IOS Versions and Specs

[firastakleh]

Hi everyone,

I am preparing for my CCNA, while I am working GNS3 or the real routers or switches some commands are not applied. I did some researches online and found it is the IOS versions that I am using. so can any one give me a brief description for the IOS versions and specs, and which lab routers and switches have full version in general. something else which routers and switches are best to build up a home lab to practice hands-on lab at home

Hi There,

do not use all the routers in GNS3. use only the 3725 platform with a 12.4T IOS line. It will be more than enough for all CCNA and CCNP scenarios
