I know the cisco 7200 emulator isn't a 2600 but if you can get hold of an IOS to boot it with, it should do similar. Still doesn't give you the switch capability but may be worth considering anyway.

Yep. Good point - refer to this prevous post for more info on the 7200 Emulator.

awesome! I was looking for something like this.. I have the lab and all of the PCs I need; I wasn't sure what equipment I needed, can't wait to set it up.

Hi Jeremy,

Saw the diagram, thought it was very straight forward and just what i needed to start my ccna, so i bought both your books from Amazon!!

With the diagram in hand i found this guy from the UK in Ebay who sells put together kits for CCNA, etc. Link below... You think it would be ok?
Anyway nice mailling you and looking forward to the books!!

I have the same problem as Philip. The extension worked for two days, after that it will clear the window and not display anything. I tried to uninstall mozilla, delete the profile and extensions and reinstall, but no luck :(

Hi All

One thing I am confused about is does it matter what ADSL modem you put in front of the 2621?

I want DMZ features because I want ISA, Citrix etc. out there so does the 2621 support a separate dmz interface i.e. IOS 12.4 and do I need anything special on the ADSL modem to enable that?

thank you for providing detail information .

Hi Jeremy,

I went to your CCNA training class in March (gush, it's May already). As I sit down reviewing the instruction material, I realized I don't have the answers for some lab assignments, as well as some other questions in the teaching material. Is there an answer sheet that match the instruction book?

I have a specific question related to lab 2B (it's actually a generic question): for a subnet connecting two routers, I take the mask has to be /29. I don't think it can be /30. For that will only leave one usable host IP besides network ID, and broadcast. Is that correct?

Another generic question: given a mask and an IP class, the number of subnets can be uniquely determined. Is that true?

For example, given mask /25, then for class A, only the 1st octet is fixed, therefore there are 17 bits in the network mask can change in the IP address, therefore, there are 2 ** 17 = 131 072 subnets
  for class B, there will be 2 ** 9 = 512 (9 bits in mask can change for the network)
  for class C, only two (1 bit can change)

your comments (or anybody else's) would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Jeremy,
This is Yuan again. In my previous post, I mentioned /30 mask has only 1 available host IP, that's totally wrong on my part. It should have 6. I mis-counted one bit. You may want to delete my posts, so nobody will get confused. Sorry about that.

Dear Jeremy,

I would like to post my complaint in regards with leud behavior by Mr. Irfan A. Khan SMB Channel Development Manager of CISCO. Hoping to hear from you soon. Perhaps you could transfer me to his superior or to the personel manager as am I completely dumbfounded to find out that CISCO is employing rude people such as Irfan Khan. This does not reflect well on your Middle East operations.

Please feel free to contact me on +31616475456 or email me.

I understand that it is hard to find qualified people but I find it sincerely regrettable that delinquence and juvenility is now part of your respectable company's fabric.

Regards,

Bara' Jomaa

Hi Jeremy,
Ive been studying your CBT Nuggets BSCI video and just wanted to say thats its a great video and really helps me to understand all of the concepts. I save money by building all of your labs in Dynamips w/Dynagen and everthing matches up the same with the results.
Just wanted to say thank You

Gavin

Jeremy,
What do you think about getting a Cisco 871 instead of the 1721 router for the *slightly* more expensive Lab?

Would that be enough even for a CCNP track?

I like to say that I click on those link and its not working. When I clicked it opens an Ebay site advertising some music CD. Some body need to updated.

Try this site which offer many cisco ccna practice exams.

Hi JC,

i would like to build a lab environment. Currently I am almost done with ONT (CCNP), but I would love to do CCVP and so on.

What do you think about the new 1861 routers? 3 of them and a few phones, Wic's, an advanced IOS, 2 x Cisco Webcams, Wireless accesspoint, cabels...

yes i would like to set up a lab. can you tell me how much will it cost ? and where can i get it from at best price?.
thank you
