Started collecting pieces for my Cisco Rack about two weeks ago, June 15 to be exact. I've put in about $1000 for my cisco home lab so far.For my routers, I now have 2 x Cisco 3640, a Cisco 2650, a Cisco 2611, 4 x Cisco 2610. As for switches I have 3 x Cisco 3600 XL series (C3648). I also got myself a Cisco AS2511RJ to control my routers and switches from one place.
I bought a crimping tool, a wire cutter/stripper, RJ45 Cat5/5e modular plugs, 3 different colors of the snag-less boot cap ends; spent the night measuring and cutting cables -- made all my straight-thru, rollover, crossover and T1 cables I needed until 2:00 AM.
I cleared and reset all the units of the passwords and previous configurations. Now I am studying the basics and familiarizing myself with the CLI on these Cisco devices.
