CCNA lab hardware

[Slinwagh]

Im about to try and get a lab setup to hepl with my CCNA study.

I can get hold of the hardware no problem Im just curious as to what combination and how many routers/switches are required.

Im thinking I need to at least 1 switch and 3 routers.

I am looking at a 1900 series switch and 2510 series routers.

Any advice will be greatly appreciated!
