I have no background experience in IT, I'm just a regular Liberal Arts major that wants to make a career change. I am interested in the security side of it. Currently looking for some entry level spots in help desk or support.

Don't even waste your time with the security+ then. Get your A+, get in help desk and figure out where you wanna go. You're not gonna jump into security b. You'll get a cert that you'll probably just let expire and have to retake again.

Seems like a few pages back you were going on about some Desktop :zzz: you upgraded...to 32GB of RAM? :laff:

Your GNS lab probably has like six or nine routers in it before that CPU starts going off :russ:

Part of my home lab (Cisco Equipment):

(2) 48TB SAN Arrays
(2) Dual 6282 16-Core Proc Servers, 64GB RAM per Proc

I'm just having fun out here. Not even serious about this, using it as a means to get elsewhere, but even still, "I been with made people, connected people. Who you been with? Jive talkin', chain snatchin', maricon motherfukkers."

Straight up overkill and serious waste of money.

I have a whole lot of Cisco professional certs with plenty of experience and I didn't need half of this stuff for my lab.

GNS3 worked fine and I trunked all advanced switch configurations to two 3560's since GNS3 does not do advanced switching. Get a PC with a killer processor and crazy RAM and you should be straight.

Everytime you have to lab up a crazy scenario, you have to get up and move cables? :what: Fukk that. I can build complex networks without getting up from my PC.

I will be doing my CCIE voice in a few months and my lab will be almost 70% GNS3 and 30% real live equipment. :ahh:

What's the point of getting certified?
To know the material and configuration and how it applies to real world scenarios. I have 2 CCIE's on my team none of them had a full lab .

GNS3 was the way :ufdup:

I will be following their lead...while you waste money :obama3:

When I need you replace a power supply, I'll have one of my guys create a ticket and issue it to you. :mjpls:

Meanwhile, my core team will be engineering the future. :cape:

Have fun mate. :smugdraper:
