I am looking into a career change in the near future into networking, and I am wanting to setup a small homelab to work with and practice on while I learn.
I found a post on craigslist near me for some equipment that they guy suggests for getting A CCNA/CCIE and was wondering if it would actually be good for learning on.
The equipment list is:\
- Cisco ASA 5505 Firewall
- Cisco 1921 (Qty 2) Routers - One has an HWIC-16a adapter card for out of band octal cables (comes with octal cable adapter)
- Cisco Catalyst 3560 24 port switch
- Cisco Catalyst 3550 24 port switch
- Cisco Catalyst 3350 24 port switch
- Cisco 2811 router with two T1 DSU/CSU cards installed
- Cisco 2801 router with three T1 DSU/CSU cards installed and removable flash memory
Would all of this be a good start? Its listed at $300 right now. If not, what should I be looking for instead?
