| Hi All,
I am new to this forum, but I would like to thank you all in advance for any help you can give me. I passed my CCNA about 6 months ago and now I am starting the CCNP track. First, I bought the Todd Lammle books, but after reading some posts I found that if you just want to pass the test you buy his books, if you want to learn how to use the information learned you buy the Cisco press books. So I went with Cisco. Now my question. With no Router or switch sims out there for the new tests, what types and how many routers and switches should I look at getting to pass all four exams? I have two 1600 series routers but I think there out dated. Are there any web sites that I can go to so I dont have to buy any routers? I dont want to pass these tests just for the sake of passing them, I want to be able to do what I have learned if the time ever comes. I would be thankful if anybody had any ideas. also I am currently studing the BCMSN.
Thanks Dave | |

| Hi, for most of the exams, you'll have enough with those routers, you just won't be able to setup route summarization/redistribution or stuff like that in Routing.
In remote access, I guess it's quite enough, for CIT too.
However for switching, it's easier to be able to practice a little bit on a switch to be used to the commands...
But if you not only want to pass the exams but only learn to use cisco materials, it's interresting to spend some hours in a real lab with let's say minimum 3 routers and 2 layer 3 switches and 1 layer 2 switch. For the router, you don't need new ones, old 2500's are enough for most of the configurations. |
