It's part of a static capabilities exchange, which will minimise explorer
traffic to that device.
I think they mean if you misconfigure the path or mac address, the wrong
information could be exchanged.
Maybe someone could correct me, but if a device sends out an explorer and
it's local dlsw 'bridge' sees that source address - does the dlsw icanreach
reference to the address stop DLSW forwarding ARE for this device??
cheers,
Simon

Hi all,
i am going the Cisco-CD and come across this note for dlsw icanreach
command. i copy the note from the command reference.
Note Because the configuration of the mac-address and netbios-name keywords
prevents the DLSw+ peer from exploring, a misconfiguration could prevent
DLSw+ from being able to find a resource actually available elsewhere in the
network.
i am thinking that since dlsw icanreach prevent explorer packet searching
the certain mac-addresses or netbios names, if this mac-address is not
statically configure using dlsw icanreach. the peer router will send
broadcast explorer to seach for it, why would it prevent resources to be
found that is available elsewhere in the network ? please advise
cheers
wins
