2611 any good ? open original image

Is the 2611 (two ethernet) any good ? I was going to put it between my PC and my ASDL router, and use it for practicing for the CCNA. I thought about getting a 25xx, but once you have bought a couple of transceivers, it costs about the same.

The 2611 is excellent but you have to factor in the price of add-on cards you migh need, such as a serial card (WIC-1T).

Usually you can get 2x 2514's + transcievers + DTE/DCE cable for the price of one 2611 with no optional cards.

Just use Dynamips/Dynagen for your routers. Just need to get a hold of a

7200 or 3600 ios image. With Dynagen and a few 2950 switches you can build a very nice lab.
