What to Consider when Buying a Lab on eBAY
First and Foremost! Most labs listed on eBay are inadequate for the Cisco Certification they are advertising.
Most (not all) Sellers are merely resellers of gear, not Qualified Cisco Trainers with Certified Instructors on Staff.
They are looking to move whatever inventory they have in stock rather than providing Actual Solutions
that match the Cisco Certification you are looking to attain.
For Example, lets take a look at Network Gear:
2500 vs 2610XM - The 2610XM with the correct memory configuration (128DRAM / 48Flash) runs the advanced
features that you will be tested on. Following are features available on this unit that the 2500 CAN NOT RUN:
Security Device Manager (Cisco's Web Configuration GUI)
Easy VPN Server
Advanced IPV6 Functions and IPV6 Routing (as now required by Cisco)
CIsco Firewall Feature Set
Call Manager Express (Cisco's VOIP Phone System)
VOIP QOS (Quality of Service Features)
Intrusion Detection System
IEEE 802.1Q InterVLAN Routing
Don't get me wrong, the 2500s are quite robust little routers. But for the Current Cisco CCNA & CCNP Testing,
it is inadequate to cover all of this Advanced Material and Technical Expertise in Theory
and not practice it in Actual Lab Environment.
2924 vs 2950 - Again it is not that the 2924 is a bad switch. However, the 2924 Can Not Support:
Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol
Port Security
Advanced Spanning Tree Protocol Features
Class of Service Tagging
Smart Port
Quality of Service
NM-4A/S vs WIC-1T - MAX Throuput on NM-4A/S = 64Kbps. MAX Throuput on WIC-1T = 2Mbps
Its ok to have lower speed links in your labs, but couple that with some high speed connections.
This will allow you to see how your Advanced Routing Protocols like OSPF and EIGRP do Proper
Path Costing and Selection. If Bandwidth is a Cost Factor in determining the best routing path then you will actually
get to see this process take place. If all your links are stuck at 64Kbps, your lab will be inadequate at showing you how this
occurs in a Real Networking Environment. The WIC-1Ts will still allow you to set the bandwidth at a lower rate, if you so
configure, and you can see this happening in your lab.
Incomplete Labs:
Many of these labs available do not have the Required Cables & Connectors necessary to put together
Complete Network Solutions. Certain parts are not included and will need to be Purchased Separately in order
for your lab to function properly. Also, some eBay Sellers have many types of CCNA Voice labs.
There is only one CCNA Voice Certification, why would you have different lab configuration for the same Certification?
Is it because it is the right gear, or is it because that is what that Seller happens to have In-Stock that day?
Also, some things are optional such as faceplates, phone stands, or power cords. We do not offer "Partial Gear".
Our Labs Are Complete! We have all the Necessary Connectors and Faceplates for Full Network Certification Solutions.
Technical Expertise:
Again, I will say that not all eBay Sellers lack the Technical Knowledge to put together a Complete Training Solution
, however there are many and in fact most do not. For Example, there are listings that show "3640 with
70K Packets per Second Performance". They then configure it with a NM-4A/S. Ridiculous.
First, the 3640 can do 70K PPS with CEF (Cisco Express Forwarding), where the router is actually switching and not routing.
Yes it can forward 70K PPS 64 byte packets, WHEN THE PROCESSOR IS NOT INVOLVED and NOT Routing at Layer 3.
Furthermore, they then choke the WAN connections with a 64K link which can only forward less than 1K PPS.
This is just an example, but I assure you, these technical Inadequacies are all over.
Trust your Certification Studies to an Expert, not a Salesperson!
We have Actual Cisco Certified Professionals on Staff, and provided Unlimited Email Technical Support and
Every Question Answered Quickly. Ask your Potential Seller if they can provide this or our unmatched Pass Guarantee!
Licensed Study vs Pirated Material:
Ask any potential seller if they License their own Study Materials and if you get a copy of that license with your Lab Kit.
If they are copying someone else's Study Materials,do you really Trust them with your Certification? Each lab kit we sell
comes with a Full License of All our own Study Materials that we Produce at NetCertLabs. Period.
Other Important Considerations
The Certification Exams cost $150-250 a Test, $150-250 for each Retake. Dont Fail, buy the right gear!
Buy a Lab that will be a learning system, not just used gear.
Purchase LICENSED Video Setup Training (CBTs) written specifically for these labs.
Also, it helps to have a full set of Network Utilities including Network Traffic Generators and Sniffers so you can
Actually see your Lab at Work.
Buy from a Seller that is actually a Cisco Certified Professional, Get Support from someone who has taken the Tests and
can offer Technical Advice and Thorough Training Software. If not me then find another Seller with these Qualifications.

Routers that will conduct EIGRP elections3 Switches that will conduct Spanning Tree elections (Root Bridge and Port Election)
Security Device Manager (SDM) / IPv6 / Call Manager Express (CME):
Buy a Lab that will be a Learning System, not just used gear.
Purchase LICENSED Video Setup Training (CBTs) written specifically for these labs.
so you can Actually see your Lab at Work.Also, it helps to have a full set of Network Utilities including Network Traffic Generators and Sniffers
Proper Network Topology:
THE KEY FACTOR TO BUYING ANY CISCO LAB IS HAVING THE
RIGHT TOPOLOGY TO STUDY ON!
As a CCNA / CCNP Instructor I Cannot Stress the Importance of Having the Following to
Study and Review Lab Data and Results:
Switches that will Conduct Proper Spanning Tree Elections
- STP Device Election & Configuration
- VTP Database Setup
- 802.1Q InterVLAN Trunking & Routing
Routers that will Conduct Proper Routing Protocol Elections
- RIPv1/v2 EIGRP OSPF BGP Device Election
- Proper Path Costing
- Multi-Protocol Networks
