I highly recommend CBT Nuggets CCNA course. It’s a two part course (ICND1 and ICDN2) that gets you your CCNA certification after passing the exams (US$125 each). It’s a highly recognized cert so it helps to have that, it proves your competence and also helps with a salary increase…
I tried books and other stuff on Cisco routers/switches, but in the end I got the CBT Nuggets CCNA (the trainer’s name is Jeremy… Jeremy Coira I think) and its a lot easier to work with. The topics are reduced to about 30 minutes each and the tutor really helps you to grasp the concepts better than any book I’ve read.
You can take the courses if you have plenty of money sitting around to spend on that. Or you can self study. There are plenty of books out there with information. More importantly is to get a network simulator. It is a program that you buy/download that simulates routers, switches, firewalls, etc, all on your PC. It’s like working in a real environment with real equipment. This will give you the hands on experience you need.
