A slightly more useful way of answering this then just pointing to eBay is to give some candidates. Routing/switching *config*, firewalling - Branch SRX / J The lower end SRX, and J series devices are nice as they take nearly all the config (except MX-type bridging, and some EX bits), including MPLS. Switching - EX [34]200 The 4200 & 3200 are essentially the flagship, and if you can only buy one switch for a lab make it one of those Routing - M5/10/7i/10i/20 A bunch of the smaller and older M series kit is now fairly cheaply available. These are still quite nice boxes, and support SONET and ATM unlike the platforms above should you need them. MX Routing - MX 80 (new) The MX80 (or as locked 5/10/40 variants) is by far the cheapest way to test the MX-specific ethernet services, as long as you don't want BRAS functionality. Juniper do have a bunch more lines, but those are the most common (there's also the E/ERX BRAS boxes and ScreenOS firewalls, but both are not long for this world). If you just want one box to get to know the OS an SRX2X0 (or possibly a 100) is by far the most flexible way, and can be had for < $500 used).
