Hi All,

Like to hijack this thread. Was practising Fallback Bridging yesterday,
encountered this issue.

IPv4 : R6 G0/1 (106.0.0.6) >> (106.0.0.10) F1/6 SW4 F1/4 (vlan104 104.0.0.10)
>> (104.0.0.4)F0/1 R4
IPv6 : R6 G0/1 (2001::6/64) >> F1/6 SW4 F1/4 >> (2001::4/64)F0/1 R4

IPv6 is setup to test on the fallback bridging
After i enabled Fallback Bridging on the 'int vlan104' & 'f0/6' of SW4. My
results are as follows

1.) R4 F0/1 (ipv6 - 2001::4/64) is able to ping/trace R6 F0/1 (ipv6 -
2001::6/64)
2.) R4 F0/1 (ipv4 - 106.0.0.6) is NOT able to ping/trace R6 F0/1 (ipv4 -
104.0.0.4). if i remove bridging on SW4, R4 F0/1 (ipv4) is ABLE to ping/trace
R6 F0/1 (ipv4)

I am using Dynamips running - (C3725-ADVENTERPRISEK9-M)

For my troubleshooting, i did

- sh ip routes on R4 and R6, i can see the RIP routes on both routers

- did 'debug ip packet' & 'debug ip routing', when i tried to ping from R4 to
R6, i dont see any packets hitting SW4.

My understanding of Fallback bridging, it bridges non-routed protocol
between SVIs and L3 routed interfaces. So i assum routed protocol will
remain as routable?

Any kind advises?

Cheers

Nit

ports 6-10 are running the SAME non-IP protocol and they want to talk but are
in different VLANs. The switch can not route between the 2 VLANs if it is not
IP. Thus, you bridge them. What I said before about appletalk communicating
with DECNET I don't think made any sense :)

routing on a switch were designed around the IP protocol. Fallback bridging
basically allows you to bridge non-ip protocols between VLANs. Since it is not
IP it cannot be routed normally like an IP packet between vlans, so it can be
bridged. I hope that helps
