   I did find something very interesting with this. If you enter an
   address without a mask I would assume that it would specify that mac
   only, but in actuality it enters a mask of ffff.ffff.ffff. Does
   anyone know why this is done?
   
   r2(config)#dlsw icanreach mac-address 1234.1234.1234
   r2(config)#^Z
   r2#s run
   dlsw icanreach mac-address 1234.1234.1234 mask ffff.ffff.ffff

   Aaron,
   
   You are 100% correct...
   
   MAC address mask in hexadecimal h.h.h. The "f" value represents the
   "don't care" bit and the "0" value represents the "care" bit. The mask
   indicates which bits in the MAC address are relevant.

   I think that it should be the other way around. The 0's represent the
   care bits and the 1's represent the don't care bits.
   
   
   
   It should be:
   
   
   
   dlsw icanreach mac-address 1122.3344.0000 0000.0000.ffff

   hi,
   
     i want to make sure the mask about dlsw mac-address xxxx mask xxxx.
   
      is it the mask or the wildcard mask?
   
   
   
     for example: if routerA can reach local mac-address
   1122.3344.0000---1122.3344.ffff.
   
   
   
     which is the correct?
   
   
   
   
   
     dlsw icanreach mac-address 1122.3344.0000 mask ffff.ffff.0000 or
   
     dlsw icanreach mac-address 1122.3344.0000 mask 0000.0000.ffff
   
   
   
   
   
   anybody must know it?
