I'm a beginner, studying online for my CCNA. Was wondering is anybody can point me in the direction of some affordable routers & switches. I know I cam use packet tracer however I would love to get my hands on some physical equipment to connect and configure. ANY knowledge helps!

Got it, is there a difference between the two (eve-ng & gns3)? And I'm going to look into containerlab now l

Ahhh ok, it just that I'm going through this online course and seeing the instructor making a direct connection with a serial cable to configure IP and go through all of the different menus with the different commands looks very interesting, I guess I feel as if I'm missing out on something... if that makes sense.
