It is just a difference in the nature of CLIP and LANE. LANE grabs the MAC addr
ess of one of the routers LAN interfaces and uses it plus the sub-interface num
ber to create the ESI. CLIP does not have this functionality, so you must speci
fy the ESI.
In a real-life, large CLIP environment it is a good idea to reuse a MAC so you
know your ESI will be distinct. But in the lab, I would use the router # (ie ro
uter1 = esi 1111.1111.1111.11).
