Hi,
I'm looking into teaching myself for CCNA, i have quite alot of general networking experience but nothing really very in depth or Cisco specific.
Books wise i think I was looking at:
CCNA 1 and 2: Companion Guide (Cisco Networking Academy Program) by Cisco Systems Inc. and CCNA 3 and 4: Companion Guide (Cisco Networking Academy Program) by Cisco Systems Inc.
Am i correct in thinking those 4 parts make up the CCNA Cert, and should cover everything i need to know?
With that covered, I would like to set up a home lab to practice on. I have a budget of maximum =A31000 but being a student, the cheaper the better.
Can anyone give me a list of suggested hardware, cables etc? I have 3 computers ready, so i assume i need routers/switches and required cables.
Ideally the hardware i get, i can sell on easily enough for a decent price once I am finished.
Thanks alot for any advice, Jack
