Hey,
I'm finally challenging my CCNA/P exams after years of putting it off. I know of a couple good books that come with decent network sim programs. However, in the long term I'd ideally like to get a nice collection of some used or old cisco equipment to bash around on both for general purposes and cisco exam prep. Ideally, I just want a couple switches and routers with a recent enough version of IOS to setup and test basic routing configurations (RIP/OSPF neighboring, configuring basic protocols, etc). Models aren't really of any importance providing they can do the basic tasks.
Can anybody recommend a good site for picking up some used Cisco equipment, or possibly if you have some used equipment yourself? Ideally I dont want to spend a lot (obviously), and I can get through without the equipment, but it's always better to mess with it first hand...
