Hi All

My lab requirement is connect to VLANs A & B together but not by routing.
Is Fallback Bridging the way to go?
Or should IRB be used?
Or are they the same thing?

VLAN A does not have an IP address, but B does - it is the management Vlan.

r1---VlanA(2)------f0/1 Switch f0/2-----VlanB(3)-----Host
10.1.1.1 10.1.1.250 10.1.1.2

What do think of the following config.

Switch(config)# bridge 10 protocol vlan-bridge
Switch(config)# vlan 2 name VlanA
Switch(config)# vlan 3 name VlanB
Switch(config-vlan)# exit
Switch(config)# interface vlan2
Switch(config-if)# exit
Switch(config)# interface fastethernet0/1
Switch(config-if)# switchport mode access
Switch(config-if)# switchport access vlan 2
Switch(config-if)# no switchport
Switch(config-if)# bridge-group 10
Switch(config)# interface fastethernet0/2
Switch(config-if)# switchport mode access
Switch(config-if)# switchport access vlan 3
Switch(config-if)# no switchport
Switch(config-if)# bridge-group 10

Is there too many lines? not enough?
If there were 5 ports in each VLAN would I need to repeat the last 5 lines
for each specfic interface?

Many thanks
Larry
