This is a great idea and it's the first time i've heard about it. Do alot
of people do that in practice labs to help IPX ping more easily? Is it
legal on the real lab?
One question: If you have two routers on the same LAN segment, you would
have to use different MAC addresses, right? So if I get it right it would
go like this:
IPX net 12 IPX net 23
R1------------------------R2------------------------R3
MAC 1.1.1 MAC 1.1.2 MAC 1.1.2 MAC 1.1.3
That way I could ping IPX 23.1.1.3 and know that it is that R3 interface.
Am I on target? Any other advice?
Matt

Use the command "mac-address 1.1.1" on all your LAN interfaces.
