Hi Micah Byers,

Thanks, in transparent environment, if R8 has two peer to reach the same
destination, can I use "cost" to choose the peer, or it cannot be achieved
in transparent bridge environment as looping?

i.e. R8---------------------------------R6--| R6 and R5 are in same
segment which can reach the same destination in R8's view of point.
          |___________________R5--|

Thx,
BBD (Big Black Dog)

The DLSW capabilities command shows you what capabilities your DLSW peers
have, in other words it is what your peers are sending to you. When you
issue that command on R8 it will show you what R6 is sending to you for
it's
capabilities, this is why it shows up when you change the cost for R6 with
the DLSW local-peer command on R6. IOS still uses the cost that you assign
to that remote peer, even if it doesn't show up in the "show capabilities"
command.
