MAC address filtering canonical vs non-canonical

I'm confused as to when I should use canonical (ethernet) and when I
should use non-canonical (token ring) addressing. Now that Token Ring is
gone for the lab there still remains some DLSW filtering
issues/concerns.

Is it ok to now always use canonical addressing (with Token Ring gone --
I've heard this), or must I convert when I want to create certain
filters? Does anyone have difinitive breakdown on how this works?

Thanks,

Rich
