If it is a real mac address on your DLSW bridged ethernet interface, your
remote peer will learn dynamically and DLSW will translate it for you. You
can then cut and past the converted mac from "show dlsw reach" on the remote
peer. I have been meaning to try hardcoding a mac address on the cat3550 to
see if that works. If not, it only takes a few minutes to convert anyway.
