I highly recommend using a peice of router emulation software called Dynamips/Dynagen http://dynagen.org/ it works by loading an actual IOS image onto virtual router hardware and can run 4 cisco 3640′s on my puny p3 1Ghz laptops. You can configure it to link all your routers by Serial, Ethernet, even Frame Relay also if you want external connectivity the routers can talk directly through the ethernet port of the laptop to another pc/router/switch etc. With the latest version is has incorporated PIX emulation so you can also do firewalls.
Saves alot of money, space and is great for learning Cisco.

Thanks a lot Paul! I’ll see what eBay has in store for me. It’s worth a try.

I picked up all the stuff in a single eBay auction. The kit included 4x Cisco 2650 routers each with a single WIC-2T 2 port serial modules. 1x Cisco 2610 with two WIC-2T 2 port serial modules, and 2x 2924M-XL-EN switches. The nice thing with the bundle is all the systems came with IOS 12.4. Prices on eBay will vary depending on the kit, but you should be able to put something together for anywhere between $200 and $800.

Hey Paul,

If you don’t mind me asking. What model/series# Cisco routers and switches do you have? And how much did each of them cost? I’m planning on making my own lab once I go to CCNP. Right now I have access to all equipment at school so I don’t need to bother purchasing a lab. Once I get my CCNA I plan on getting a job and experience, then I want to move on to CCNP.

IT Security for about 14 years, bass for about eight. Been thinking about getting a Harley, but definitely not a pro-wrestler.
