Doesn't (canonical) 0001.1111.1111 = (non-canonical) 0008.8888.8888?
Also when working with MAC addresses ACL (700-799) I read that filters
MUST be in non-canonical format. IS this correct?

What about when you are working with the 'dlsw icanreach/icannotreach'
commands? What should be used in that instance?

bit swapping 0001.1111.1111 gives 0080.8888.8888

it is probably a typo.

I am having trouble understanding MAC address filters. Working on a
Boson lab (6.4) and it instructs one to:

Configure a static definition pointing to R as the DSLSW peer to reach
an Eth. Attached device with MAC 0001.1111.1111

The answer is such:

Dlsw icanreach mac-address 0080.5555.5555 mask ffff.ffff.ffff

How did they get this mac address? Also is there a link available that
will demystify the MAC address ACLs and subnet masks?
