Hello,

1- The mac-exclusive has nothing to do with the deny statement at the end.
It is just telling the remote peer do not send me any explorer packet for
any other mac address. All I know is mac address 4000.3745.0000. Nothing
else.

2- True you have to change the mac add from its canonical to non-canonical
format.

Subject: ICANREACH Mac-Exclusive

A quick sanity check on the ICANREACH statement:

dlsw icanreach mac-exclusive
dlsw icanreach mac-address 4000.3745.0000 mask ffff.ffff.ffff

1. According to the documentation, there is an 'implicit deny-all' within
the ICANREACH <mac-address> statement. If that's true, why would one need
to configure 'dlsw icanreach mac-exclusive'?

2. Considering above configuration, if the device (MAC 4000.3745.0000)
resides on an Ethernet segment, the true MAC address of the device is
0200.ECA2.0000, correct?

TIA,
.
