Taking Cisco Classes...

[wnied]

I want to buy a Cisco router to practice using the Cisco IOS. What is the most cost efficient model to buy? Someone suggested the 800 model series...Can anyone help me out?

Thanks in advance.

I'd take a 1812w ISR router or a ASA5505 of you're more security oriented..

I would suggest a 2600XM with IOS 12.4(non xm can only support up to 12.3).

if you have access to IOS software, check out dynamips...more specifically, gns3
