Subject: Bridging over FR

Hi,

Here is the scenario

   R2----------SW2---------BB2

   .

   .

  R5----------SW1

Basically the FE on BB2 is 192.10.1.254/24

SW2 has two I/F F0/24 towards BB2 and F0/2 towards R2`s F0/0, both are
in Vlan 100

R2 is connected to R5 through a FR cloud

SW1 F0/5 has ip 192.10.1.7/24 towards R5`s F0/0

Objective is to ping BB2 from SW1 while enabling Bridging on R2 and R5

R2:

interface FastEthernet0/0

 no ip address

 duplex auto

 speed auto

 bridge-group 1

!

interface Serial0/0

 no ip address

 encapsulation frame-relay

 frame-relay map bridge 205 broadcast

 bridge-group 1

!

bridge 1 protocol ieee

R5:

interface FastEthernet0/0

 no ip address

 duplex auto

 speed auto

 bridge-group 1

!

interface Serial0/0

 no ip address

 encapsulation frame-relay

 frame-relay map bridge 502 broadcast

 bridge-group 1

!

bridge 1 protocol ieee

I looked up Cisco Doc and the configuration seems fine so it should be
working

I suspect that there are two problems one on R2 as it is sending on the
S0/0 but no receiving any BPDU at all whereas on R5 it is sending and
receiving normally but not receiving on the F0/0, which is the second
problem . When I convert SW2 F0/5 to a switchport the BPDU between R5
and SW1 pass through when I convert it back to a routing port BPDU stop
. So the question is how does a port on a switch differ than that on a
router I mean shouldn't the same happen with BB2 ?

My problem is I don't know how to further troubleshoot, I am quite sure
the path from R2 to BB2 is okay I put an IP and pinged successfully from
R2 . I need guidance on how to further troubleshoot , what debug can I
use ?
