Use them to heat the basement in winter.

Power consumption... No thank you. And the noise is horrible, I'm pretty sure you can hear them through a thin concrete wall. Also, why bother with Nexus for a lab? CCNP? CCIE Data Center okay, but not for the other tracks.

I'm sure I would have a lot of fun trying all the niche stuff you can do with the Nexus, but yeah, it's probably more of a nuisance running it at home. And licensing would be an issue too :)

So, I've been looking at NX-OS virtualization, anyone here that has played around with Titanium a lot? Is it worth looking at?

I have not played with Titanium but hear its not that great and buggy. You cant do any of the fun stuff like vPC and FabricPath since they are hardware dependent. So all you really can do it play with NX-OS in general. VIRL has a vNX-OS device but I think it has the same limitations.

I've got Titanium. Haven't messed with it much but the few things I wanted to do I couldn't. One I remember right off was there is no support for anything other than the Admin VDC.

In my home, i am using Netgear Router n300 to connect 6-8 devices, it works efficently for all these devices. Some times when all devices are connected together, then it works slowly and need to restart some time.
But after all, its not a bad deal with such a low price.

It sounds like you're ready to start arranging for a home lab.

I'm about to get another toy for mine. Should be getting a small Palo Alto firewall to play with.

you used to get a free PA-200 when passing your PCNSE. A few guys @ work landed them. Of course I don't think it included any subscription (i.e. all the good stuff).... LOL

all I got was a lousy backpack, which fell apart on me in around 6 months.

Well... does the crew you work for do a lot of Palo Work? Talk to them and you can get a PA200 in your home lab, tout de suite.

But that's only if you want to do security stuff.
