Hi John,

        It ultimately depends what you want to do with your home setup.
You can get some 2500s for a couple hundred dollars and do the majority
of the exercises on those. ISDN, ATM, and 3550 configurations would
obviously require the extra hardware support. For an exact replica of
our setup you could easily spend $10k on it. At that rate you may be
better off just renting rack time.

        Usually I recommend that candidates get a few 2500s to practice
on and then supplement it with rental time. For rack rentals you can go
through us or use a third party. Almost all commercial rack vendors
support our topology. For information on renting our racks check our
website. For third party support check
