Hey,

I want to get the CCNA certification and will need to study on my own. I want to buy an old cheap Cisco Router to practice the CLI, but don't want a huge, noisy thing running in my living room.

Do you know models that could fit that? I'm seeing a model 880 cheap on a platform here, e.g.

(Or is it maybe not that necessary to practice with an actual router for the exam? Would some virtual CLI be enough?)

Any help is very welcome :)

Virtual would suffice, I'd say.

However, instead of router you could also find a switch. I'm sure there are some catalysts on the market that have been retired for corporate use.
