RE: DLSw reachability; Ethernet MAC addresses

Dale,

These are the reasons I remembered it. It is either the things you love
most or hate the most that stick in the brain the longest.

That did the trick. The 'show dlsw' outputs show MACs in non-canonical
form. When converted, I can trace the MACs the usual way.

I can't figure out if this is less or more annoying than 'show ip
cache flow' showing transport layer (port) information in hex.

cheers,
Dale
