Neither of those. It's an address that you make up, (making sure it fits any addressing schemes you might have and isn't a duplicate of anything else, of course). It is the address that the router uses for the real destination MAC address when an end station sends a TEST frame to a host or other destination. In other words, it is the address that the router is mapping the real destination MAC address to. See here: http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/cc/pd/ibsw/ibdlsw/prodlit/dls12_rg.htm This entire feature is a conglomeration of awful technologies that would have maybe worked despite their complexity, if we hadn't upgraded from hubs to swithces. The problem with switches is that they remember where MAC addresses are and get confused by redundant routers in a DLSw+ environment. To avoid problems, the redundant routers map the destination address to unique addresses that you configure. Unless you really need this feature (or have to learn it for CCIE for some bizarre reason), I would definitely stay clear of it! :-) Priscilla > > Thanks so much for your help in advance, > > Best Regards, > H.
