Hi!,
I’m currently sitting a bootcamp with Narbik, and recently sat an IpExpert one. ( there was a two for one deal happening ) So in a week or so after I have had time to reflect onNarbik’s,  I will post up a comparison of the two courses for anyone who is interested in attending.

With my day-to-day troubleshooting I often use the trace mac  command to discover clients who may have aged out of the mac-address-table for some reason, After finding the mac I then have to go to the routing point for the vlans on that site and do a sh ip arp | I MAC to find the address I’m chasing.
