Hi,
you have to enable it on the spoke routers as well. The reason behind
is that bridging is a LAN (ethernet, tokenring, ...) technology and
uses mac-addresses to build the bridging tables. The src/dst mac addresses
are present in all the frames that get bridged. So if the spoke routers
would not have any knowledge about bridging, they did not know how to
handle these incoming frames that contain mac-adress/lan-headers inside
the frame-relay encapsulation. So you need to turn on bridging on the
frame-relay spoke routers as well and terminate the frames on a bvi interface.
the bvi interface knows how to handle these frames ...
