CCNA Tutorial starts this week (9-1-08)
Since all three members of the LANverse.com Team hold full-time jobs (with some of us working overtime as well) it’s been a while since the Cisco CCNA Tutorial page has been updated, but here comes good news !
Starting this week we are going to concentrate on getting through and finishing the entire tutorial. In the first week we are going to cover the topic of how to start with simulators and equipment. Some of the questions we will answer will include:
- how to buy Cisco routers and switches on E-Bay
- which router and switch models are covered on the CCNA 640-802 exam
- IOS basics
- CCNA simulators
CCNA (Cisco Certified Network Associate) Lab setup and Tutorial
In the next few weeks I am going to set-up a Cisco® lab in order to prepare for the CCNA® (Cisco® Certified Network Associate) exam 640-802. This complete guide and walkthrough is going to cover anything from buying the equipment necessary to go through the practical labs, to setting up the whole network.
I am going to use the following book:
“CCNA – Cisco® Certified Network Associate STUDY GUIDE” by Todd Lammle, CCSI, Sixth Edition
ISBN: 978-0-470-11008-9
The book has a printed price of $49.99, but can be found at Amazon.com for about $30 new or $22 used.
Equipment used in this lab will be:
4 x Cisco® 2610 Routers
2 x Cisco® 2924 Switch
1 x Cisco® 2912 Switch
Along with the Cisco® equipment I am going to be using a Dell Latitude D610, Dell Dimension E510, iBook G3, old Gateway laptop and an Intel-based Macbook (my main computer).
8/1/06 Update:
Pictures of the rack. Sorry about the quality, but cell phone was the only camera available at the time. I will post better pics and configurations over the weekend, because I have nothing better to do ! Oh, the life of a nerd…
