CISCO Questions (Hardware)

Hi,

I'm moving house soon and will need a new router as my zyxel is staying at my parents house.

I did start my CCNA but didn't finish it as I moved to take on a new job.

I'd like to try and get my hands on a fairly cheap unit that I could run at my new home. It would be nice to have wireless, 4 ports, routing and firewall. VoIP would be a real bonus but probably pop the price up a bit.

What models would you recommended? I can have a search on ebay then.

Cheers.

Jon

What you need are three 2500 series routers and two Catalyst switches.

The most they'll tell you to do is a three router setup with two switches.
If you can do it real life you'll be better prepared.

And how much would it cost for all that?

I've put a bid on anyway for 122 squid.

Hopefully its worth it. :confused:

I've got a d-link wireless thingy so I can add that to it.

They go new for £300.

Cool, id rather not spend over 150 but seems like a good price. To good to be true perhaps. :S

zetec452 · 8 Jul 2006 at 12:42

arh dont confuse me dude.

Ill take a look at the 2501's and a Catalyst switch. But I can only really do that if I get outbid on this one.

Goes to take a look at 2501 and see what the hell they are.

The 2501's do look cool. Oh well. Im sure the 877 will keep me ocupied for a while.

zetec452 · 8 Jul 2006 at 12:52

Well my bid is still ok at the moment which isn't a problem. The 877 will be my main adsl router so after my initial play it won't be touched. Once I get some more dosh ill take a look at buildint a lab as above.

Im not doing my CCNA at the moment, I started it but then moved to sheffield before I finished the first year. Im about to go back to uni for my final year and therefore may start my CCNA once more.

I wasn't debating that, just pointing out that you'd need one.

Im glad you mentioned it as I would have purchased it and not realised.

6 mins to go.

Rebid!

I did but somebody must have had an auto thing as it only had 10 seconds left.

I've lost the auction but its all good. Ill take a look at the other options now.
