Hi, I failed the exam twice (809 and 821 scores) and I got the same
question twice, but I couldn't figure out the answer either. I think
it might have something to do with IP ARP, e.g. "show ip arp | (mac
address)".

That's a dirty one...

Maybe you should try "show mac-address-table" ...a lot faster imo.
