CCNa w/ 5505

No. Firewalls are not covered in CCNA, CCNP etc.. There are specific security exams and qualifications but for CCNA you would need to be looking at something like a couple of 2600 series routers and maybe a low end switch.

I'm taking the two cources as we speak, and bought a Que Publishing self study guide up front for preparations, which states this for self study:

. at least on 2514 or higher router . one additional oruter, like the 2501, with one ethernet and two serial ports, to test wan's. . at least one switch, ideally a 2900XL or 2950. A 1900 with Enterprise IOS (needed for having a CLI) will do . a DB-60 DTE to DB-60 DCE cross-over serial cable . at least one roll-over console cable . multiple straight and x-over ethernet cables

It's mentioned that Catalyst 1912's and 1924's can be used, though they differ from current production models WRT syntax..
