If I remember correctly, DLSW will do it for you. In a manual statement like
icanreach, the easiest thing is to do a show dlsw reach and look at the
local MAC. Use that since they've already swapped the ethernet for you and
you don't have to go through the conversion process. That will save you time
on the lab.

Subject: DLSw - bitswapping w/ icanreach command

Just to double check my understanding, DLSw conversations are
non-canoincal. The only time I have to concern myself with bitswapping a
mac address in DLSw icanreach/icannotreach commands is when I am dealing
with an ethernet mac address, right? For example, if I want R1 in the below
example to stop R2 from sending explorers for aabb.ccdd.eeff, then:

aa-bb-cc-dd-ee-ff ----R1 - - - - - - - R2----
              (ethernet) (token ring)
R1:
dlsw icanreach mac-add 55dd.33bb.77ff

This would be the same even if R2 had an ethernet instead of a token ring,
right? Can someone please confirm this? Thanks.
