Kyle,
It will bridge to all the ports that have the same "bridge-group" on it.
The BVI is useless if you don't put an IP on it. If you do put an IP on
it, it will route to any attached networks (other BVI bridge-groups). If
you add a default-route (ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 router-ip) then the
switch will be a mean, clean, layer-3 machine.
