One additional note on the below, IPv6 doesn't get bridged either (but
IPX does).

Subject: Fallback Bridging for non-IP only?

It appears that fallback bridging on the 3550/3560 is for non-IP traffic
only. Is this correct?

Simple config:

no ip routing

bridge irb
bridge 1 protocol vlan-bridge
no bridge 1 route ip
bridge 1 bridge ip

int vlan 2
bridge-group 1

int vlan 3
bridge-group 1

IP hosts configured in the same subnet on VLAN 2 & VLAN 3 or router
ports assigned to bridge-group 1 still can't talk to each other. IPX
works fine! (I tried CRB as well, same result). It seems like all the
documentation states that this is really for bridging of non-IP traffic
only, so I can only assume that this is the case...

Thanks,
 Mike
