This is one of the reasons i am after a router to play with (or IOS
emulator), i know the basic commands, but would like to play with it a
little to get to know it better, i learn better with practice, than with
reading...

Thanks

$200 - 300 second hand) and learn the basic IOS commands. They WILL ask
those questions on the exam.
