The "dest-mac" parameter is kinda like a static route. It says to use this
peer for this/these MAC addresses. The "dmac-output-list" is when you are
potentially going to allow everything but want to filter yes/no on certain
things.
I suppose you could use them for the same things, but I'd probably have to
stare at the scenario to think about why. :)
ALL MAC-related stuff in dlsw is done in non-canonical (aka ass-backwards or
token ring) format. :)
HTH,
Scott

Subject: More DLSW: dest-mac vs dmac-output-list
Hi again,
Tim and Scott's discussion on DLSW made me realise it was time to have
another look at DLSW. While looking through the documentation, I was a
little bit confused by two of the options in the dlsw remote-peer
command: dest-mac and dmac-output-list.
My questions are:
1. I can understand the advantage of the dmac-output-list with multiple
hosts but if you are only interested in traffic for one host, do the above
commands achieve the same thing?
2. I seem to remember that the MAC you specify here shouldn't be the actual
MAC address but should be bitswapped, sort of a throw-back to the token-ring
days. Is this correct, and is it the case for both commands?
Thanks
Roy
