Building home lab. Already home to the following:
Catalyst 5505 w/2 Sup Engines (III and IIIG) - (4) 24port 10/100 modules
(2) 2613 Routers (One Frame Relay, other maybe access server)
(2) 3640 128D/32F
(1) 2610XM (for exposure to SDM/newest ios when available)
I could use the following: (I would say priority given to the WIC/NM's then routers/switches then w/e)
WIC-2T
WIC-1T
NM-1FE2W
NM-1FE1R2W (same as above but with additional token ring port - sometimes cheaper)
NM-2FE2W
NM-16A (in lieu of a 2509)
Catalyst 2950's (WS-C2950G-12-EI, WS-C2950G-24-EI, or WS-C2950G-48-EI)
1000Base-T GBIC's (I don't have anything fiber in the home right now)
26xx XM
3640's 128D/32F
2509 (Access Server)
Any Learning Materials you feel would be of assistance. I have Cisco Authorized Self Study Guide CCNA Prep Library (7th ed) already.
Budget isn't large nor consistent (about 150 every 2 weeks thru May 20th then unknown due to pending layoff). Pretty much hoping someone has these laying around and isn't looking to make a buck but rather interested in helping someone else embark on a career path in networking. I won't expect you to give it away however. I'm more than willing to pay for everything of course.
Always open to suggestions if you have ideas on how to better my individual setup. I think 3 or 4 total routers and a couple switches will be sufficient to give me full exposure to what i'll need to know to pass ICND 1 & 2 or the Composite CCNA exam. I have the 5505 for exposure to CatOS and also for some local LAN parties (contact me if interested. Bradford, PA 16701 area)
