Description
The Bridge-Group Virtual Interface (BVI)
becomes available on routers when the bridge irb
command has been given. This interface allows the router to route and bridge the same protocol over the same interface. The bridge group-number
must match the bridge group defined for the bridge.
Example
In this configuration, serial0
and serial1
are bridged, and traffic is routed through those interfaces out through ethernet0
:
bridge irb bridge 1 protocol ieee ! interface serial0 bridge-group 1 ! interface serial bridge-group 1 ! interface ethernet 0 ip address 10.11.1.1 255.255.255.0 ! ! Configure the virtual bvi interface with a bridge group number of 1 interface bvi 1 ip address 10.10.3.1 255.255.255.0 ! ! Now configure the routing for the bridge bridge 1 route ip
