it's raining zerglings!
I'm attempting to build a CCNA lab(edit* lab, not lap!) for this summer. I'm currently a Freshman majoring in CIS, and it's been my goal to have my CCNA by the end of my Freshman summer for some time now. I took a vocational program through my High School which covered the CCNA curriculum, and I actually still have access to the curriculum.

Anyway, my question isn't about learning material... it is: Where should I buy my CCNA lab from? I looked on ebay and stuff, but I try to avoid buying things on ebay. What routers/switches do you folks recommend to go with, and why? I'd like to get this lab up and running in around a month, so I'm not in any rush.

If anyone has any tips about studying for the CCNA, please feel free to chime in. I plan on buying one of those "CCNA Flash Card" guide things. I just like being able to review possible questions. While in Barnes & Noble I glanced through one and could answer about... 25% of the questions I looked at, so I'm not ridiculously rusty considering I haven't touched this material in around a year.

Did they actually ask you about arcane technologies like ISDN and Frame Relay over there as well? Those are almost extinct here in Finland yet the Cisco materials feature them heavily. :(

The only logical explanation I can think of is that theyre much more common in the US. Is this the case?

Though I haven't touched Cisco material in around 6 months...... the last I looked, it still covered ISDN/Frame Relay quite a bit. I've also never seen ISDN/Frame Relay actually put into use.
