Hi folks;
I am in the process of building my home lab for security ..i wonder if i can get help from you giants,if anyone can address teh following concerns ..

1-currently i have 2610s and 2500s with enough ..will this do the job ? or do i need another series

2-for IDS ...is a router with IDS software is enough or do i need to have hardware IDS ?

3-do i really need to buy VPN concentrator ?which one is cheapest / enough for lab purpose

4-do i need to consider PIX 515 or 501/506 will be enough ??

5-which s/w is required on the PIX ( Restricted or unrestricted ..etc)

6-finally , does the Lab support accessing IDS via Management Center or Security monitor ..are those part of the lab ??

i wish if someone can help me

Regards ;
