I am confused also! Here's one I posted earlier this month.

p.s. I guess this is one for the CCIGs (lower case g od). I'll test it if
I can find the time and equipment.

Subject: DLSW clarification on mac address filter/ICANREACH exchange

Are the masks for mac address filters and ICANREACH commands the opposite of
each other? I cannot find a good example that explains the ICANREACH mask.

Vendor code filter - filters explorer packets sent out from router
vendor portion/any portion of Mac address

700-799 48-bit MAC address access list
access-list 704 deny 0260.8c00.0000 0000.00FF.FFFF - deny's 3Com NICs
access-list 704 permit 0000.0000.0000 FFFF.FFFF.FFFF - permit all others

dmac-output-list - mac address filter
F's are don't care
0's must match

ICANREACH - will prevent a router from sending out an explorer packet
because it is learned during the capabilities exchange process.

dlsw icanreach mac-address 0006.e9db.31ce mask ffff.ffff.ffff

F's mush match
