Recommended Hardware open original image

I'm not looking for a Cisco qualification (at the moment) I'd just like to get some hands on experience so I can add it to my CV. Currently I'm working as a Solaris sysadmin and as such never have to touch any of the routers, switches etc apart from to plug in new hardware so I'm obviously looking to start at home.



So I'm looking to offload my old broadband router and plug in a Cisco router of some description.



I'll need something that can deal with a DHCP IP Address from my broadband supplier and route to various Sun kit (there's quite a lot off it) around the house and the odd PC aswell (all through ethernet Cat 5 lines)



Any advice on Cisco hardware that can deal with this little lot, I'll be getting stuff off eBay so I'm thinking 2500, 3600 ??



Thanks in advance Jim
