Moxli Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Hey all, i recently got halfway through my Cisco CCNA at the college before the summer term started, and I'm looking for some routers, switches and stuff which i can use to practice on. Just thought that maybe some of you may have studied a Cisco course at the college before and have the hardware left over which you had practiced on. Contact through PM or text 222293. Cheers, Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3v0 Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Bosun looks fantastic...but it ain't cheap. I'm in the middle (well more like 33%) of the way through my CCNP, I could do with a copy but it's about £500......and the *ahem* "free" copies out there don't seem to work.
