Nope, can definately be done. References in the archives to people having
done it, and Marc at CCBootcamp specifically tells people to practise it in
a note at the end of one lab (lab14).

By the way, you say there that esi is the 'prefix' - important distinction
here, the prefix identifies the SWITCH the esi (end system identifier) -
uniquely id.s the attached device. ILMI also should be on VCI 16 (usually).

Anyway, I recieved a config from sb. - apparently I need a bit more config
on the ls.

I tell it tomorrow and let you know what happens! Either way I'll know!!
