Probably not the right website to be asking on.... but hey, you guys seem to know everything else about IT so I figure why not.
Pretty much my day-to-day job revolves around windows servers and Im getting a bit bored of it to be honest. Im hoping maybe to get into Cisco and get involved in the actual network design and troubleshooting network issues.
Can anyone give me any ideas on what I should I look for on building a small lab that would get me through ccna and possibly ccnp. I have a budget of say 500euro.
Ive been googling for the past hour or two and I cant really find any information that isnt horribly dated.
BTW: Im posting it here (and not networking) because Im open to any general tips/advice on getting into cisco line of work.
