No. DLSW will take care of the conversion. A router locally bridging e-net
to token will have to be manually configured to translate.
I believe that you should be concerned with bit-swapping when you are using
mac filters on local interfaces. I understand that you write mac access
list canonically on INbound for e-net, non-canonical for INbound token ring.
When filtering outbound, you'll filter will have to be bit-swapped.
Anyone else have something to say about this? I'd like some feedback as
well. Thanks.

Subject: When is it appropriate to to apply mac addr conversion?
When dealing with DLSW between routers having ethernet and token-ring
segments
attached while filtering mac addresses is it appropriate to
consider mac canonical -to - non-canonical conversions as part of your
configuration?
As the translational bridging is integrated into the protocol itself. Can
someone provide a brief explanation and perhaps and example?
In appreciation,
Curtis
