Purpose
Enables privileged EXEC mode.
Enter your password if prompted.
•
Enters global configuration mode.
Disables IP routing.
Assigns a bridge group number and specifies the VLAN-bridge
spanning-tree protocol to run in the bridge group.
The ibm and dec keywords are not supported.
•
•
For bridge-group, specify the bridge group number. The range is 1
to 255.
Frames are bridged only among interfaces in the same group.
•
Specifies the interface on which you want to assign the bridge group,
and enters interface configuration mode.
•
The specified interface must be an SVI: a VLAN interface that you
created by using the interface vlan vlan-id global configuration
command.
These ports must have IP addresses assigned to them.
•
Assigns the interface to the bridge group created in
•
By default, the interface is not assigned to any bridge group. An
interface can be assigned to only one bridge group.
Returns to privileged EXEC mode.
