What router(s) should you buy for CCNA or CCNP? What switches? For which exams?
For those of you who watch this space regularly, you’ve seen this for the better part of the spring. If you’re just happening across this post… I spent some time this spring discussing some of those issues in the context of both CCNA and CCNP exam prep. It was a reprise of similar topics from 2008. I concentrated on some of the detailed issues back in 2008, like exactly what features were needed for each exam, what IOS feature sets and router models supported those features, and so on.
This page is a list of links for the lab-related posts this spring, just for convenience. It also lists the links to the two related series in this blog back from 2008. Enjoy!
