| Have you tried your local cisco office. Some of the offices have labs that will allow you access to "certification" racks if you are a ccnp or ccie candidate.

| That's news to me. I've got two questions on that.
1. What would they define as a CCNP candidate?
2. What do they charge?
I got started on the ccnp track a few days ago and am trying to figure out what routers to get given my limited budget (could save up around $2000 in the next few months). Working on the switching exam for now so it's not much of an issue yet but I'll move onto the routing exam after that. | |

| From what I have been told you have to have your CCNA and working towards one of the NP exams. I was able to get into the local office at no charge.

| Wow, that's what I call a fast reply. Thanks for the info Reamer. Looks like there's an office in Orlando so I'll try giving them a call. | |

| If you are trying to "build" your own lab I would suggest that you look at http://www.tcpmag.com. I have found several articles that talk about building a home lab cheap.
In fact, here is an old article to start with http://tcpmag.com/column.asp?id=GEN&cid=6

| Thanks again for the info Reamer. I was thinking about getting two 1603 routers which would probably be enough for all the CC*P exams. I've been reading those articles and the Cisco website, and it looks like the 2503 would be worth the extra expense since it would be a lot more usefull in preparing for "the lab" later on. |
