Rich,
When working with MAC addresses in any shape or form with DLSW it is non-canonical.
There is one exception and that is when you are configuring DLSw advanced Ethernet load balancing in a switched environment.
There is a good TAC doc on this.
When using MAC address filtering on Ethernet Interfaces it is canonical.

Subject: 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
