Re: DLSW mac address

Shawn,

The way I understand this particular scenario is that you want to enter
the mac address of the destination host as it would be on its network.
So, if you're going from ethernet to TokenRing then you'll enter the mac
address in the non-canonical format. From TokenRing to ethernet, you'll
enter in canonical format. If you're staying on the same network
topology type then no bit swapping will need to occur.

Hello there,

When configure "dlsw icanreach", the mac address that follows has to
be
always in non-canonical (Token Ring) format, right?

Say if the requirement says,

configure R2 to inform R4 that it can reach a mac address of
10C2-BB34-AAA3.

then should we do the conversion, or not?

Thanks!

Shawn
