Julie Ann,
          Not too sure exactly what's happening with this frame but I was looki
ng
around CCO and found this debug from a DLSW setup. It would seem that this
is typical traffic between the switch and the DLSW peers. You mentioned
that catalyst was in the reachability cache on your DLSW peers wich I guess
would explain why the frame is being sourced from the switch. Here's the
link.....watch the wrap...!
