Dongbia, if I understand you correctly, you want to use the DLSW
ICANREACH mac-address command on the DLSW peer on whom the host resides.
For example, on RTRA you have a token-ring with a host with the mac
address 4000.1414.1414. On RTRA, you set up your dlsw as usual, and then add
the command
dlsw icanreach mac-address 4000.1414.1414.
This command will tell the remote DLSW peers, during the capabilities
exchange, that that mac address resides on that peer, and there is no need
to send explorers for that MAC.
When the remote peers get a local explorer for that mac, they check
their reachibility cache first, find that mac already there, so they forward
the packet without need of explorer.
If you add the dlsw icanreach mac-address exclusive command, then all
peers will think that RTRA can only reach 4000.1414.1414, and NO OTHER MACS.
If this is not what you mean, please elaborate.
