CCNA training equipment

May 02, 2007 2 Replies

I am looking on Ebay for a router to practise for my CCNA exam. I see a lot of 1600 series that sell pretty cheap. Quite a few of these do not have a power supply, can a power supply be purchased from an electronics supply company, or a store such as Radio Shack? What are the minumum specifications I should look for. (memory, network cards, cables needed, etc.) Is the 1600 too old to be of any use? Will I need a serial number to upgrade the IOS? Thanks for any help and advice Terry


Hi Terry,

You may wish to investigate the Cisco Power Supply Headquarters:
