I figure a good second post would be to describe some of the equipment I'm working with to study. I've been fortunate enough to get some pretty good equipment to study with over the past few months. I have five 2600's. Three of which can't run anything past IOS 12.3. Then I have 2 2600XM's that run the 12.5 code for IPv6 and two 1800 series routers that we all know are about gold to get your hands on. I also have two 2924 switches. Which was good for the CCNA, but not such a help for the CCNP, so at work I have two 3560's in a rack to help me pass my CCNP Swtich. That's about all the equipment I've got, and if you don't have that don't freak out. There are plenty of places that rent equipment out and on top of that plenty of good software out there that'll emulate a cisco router/switch. There is one that even runs the actual IOS software. It's called Dynamips. Found at

Hope this helps,
Matt
