FAQ

Is this only routing?

Yes. Layers 4–7 are out of scope; we may mention ACL side effects only when they interact with routing.

Can I attend solo?

You may, but some relays require pairing—we assign temporary partners when needed.

What headset quality is required?

Wired headset recommended; we do not troubleshoot consumer Bluetooth stacks during class time.

Participant notes

“Enterprise Troubleshooting Relay’s commander rotation felt awkward at first, then invaluable. I stopped over-explaining on bridges.”

“Wish the fault catalog had one more IPv6-only scenario. Otherwise the timeboxed drills are the best part.”
