CCENT Beginner Video #1 --Lab Setup--

Here I show you my Cisco CCENT/CCNA Lab, the end devices I use, and all the cables with adapters. I tried to put together a lab that can accomplish all the network scenarios used when preparing for CCENT, but cost-effectively (cheap). This lab includes:

(2x) 2851 routers
(1x) 1841 router
(2x) 2950 Catalyst Switches
(1x) 3560 Catalyst Switch (capable of layer 3)
(1x) Old Windows XP Laptop
(2x) Tablets
(1x) HP Envy laptop (fairly modern)

Adapters that I use are:
Serial-to-USB (for console capable)
USB-to-10/100 Ethernet
MicroUSB-to-USB

This video is my first attempt with YouTube. Be gentle, but please comment. I know there are mistakes I make and better ways of doing everything.

Good luck with your CCENT! Johnny A.

Thanks for sharing, I have older laptops laying around and now I see they can be useful just by adding some adapters to them. Best wishes with your studies
