Agree.
I have to admit the methodology you teach is quite
effective and especially when used at the beginning of
one's studies.
It really helps clarify what is connected to what and
which VLANs are trunked or assigned.
In fact, I owe my own understanding of untangling
switching nightmares to you.
A priceless technique when the heat is on in the lab.
So thanks again Bob.
