Syed,
I was looking into something like this earlier and found what you see.
What I discovered is that the only bridge protocol supported on the 6500
switch is IBM, DEC, and vlan-bridge.
IOW, there is no IEEE because the switch is already doing that by
default from the vlan to the SVI.
Using the vlan-bridge protocol enables bridging non-ip traffic across
switched virtual interfaces (like DLSW). It does not bridge ip traffic.
So, trying to tell it to route IP wont have any effect if the
vlan-bridge protocol is chosen.
In short, I found that I couldn't do what I wanted the IOS to do...
Probably for a good reason though.
Maybe someone else has different experiences and could add to this
thread.
Andy

Subject: Bridging
I have a question regarding configuring a GRE tunnel and Bridging. I
have a GRE tunnel configured from a Cisco 1200 series Wireless Access
Point to a Catalyst 6509 running Native IOS. I am using a Loopback
address as the source of the tunnel on the 6509. I am trying to bridge
the loopback address and a Vlan. I have configured Bridging (IRB)
I am not able to add a bridge-group to the loopback address or add a BVI
interface.
This is some of the relevant configuration on the 6509
interface Tunnel0
ip address " "
tunnel source Loopback1
tunnel destination " "
interface Loopback1
ip address " "
interface Vlan19
no ip address
bridge-group 1
bridge irb
bridge 1 protocol vlan-bridge
bridge 1 route ip
