Thanks Tan for looking into this for me.
The question came up because I was wondering about setting up a DHCP server
which would be used by the 3550 to obtain it's ip addr and I didn't know how
to find the 3550's mac addr to use for this purpose.
One person told me to do a show ver but another told me to use the mac addr
on the interface though which the 3550 would get to the DHCP server and look
up that mac addr with a show int ##. I'm still not sure which mac addr to
use and I wonder if there's more than 1 right answer.
Jim
