Cisco IOS Bridging and IBM Networking Configuration Guide
To enable integrated routing and bridging on the bridge groups, perform the following tasks beginning
in global configuration mode:
Monitoring and Maintaining the PA-12E/2FE Port Adapter
After configuring the new interface, you can display its status and verify other information. To display
information about the PA-12E/2FE port adapter, perform the following tasks in EXEC mode:
Step8 Repeat Step 1 through Step 7 for each interface.
Step9 copy running-config startup-config Saves the new configuration to memory.
Command Purpose
Command Purpose
Step1 bridge irb Enables integrated routing and bridging.
Step2 interface bvi bridge-group Enables a virtual interface on a bridge group.
Step3 ip address address mask Assigns an IP address and subnet mask to the bridge group virtual
interface.
Step4 no shutdown Changes the shutdown state to up.
Step5 exit Returns to configuration mode.
Step6 Repeat Step 1 through Step 5 for each interface.
Step7 bridge bridge-group route protocol Specifies the protocol for each bridge group.
Step8 exit Exits configuration mode.
Step9 copy running-config startup-config Saves the new configuration to memory.
Command Purpose
show version Displays the configuration of the system hardware, the software version, the
names and sources of configuration files, and the boot image.
show controllers Displays all current port adapters and their interfaces.
show interface fastethernet slot/port
(for ports 0 and 1)
show interface ethernet slot/port
(for ports 2 through 13)
Verifies the interfaces have the correct slot number and that the interface and
line protocol are in the correct state.
show bridge group Verifies all bridge groups and their interfaces.
show interface ethernet slot/port irb
(ports 2 through 13)
show interface fastethernet slot/port
irb
(ports 0 and 1)
Verifies the correct routed protocol is configured for each interface.
show protocols Displays the protocols configured for the entire system and specific
interfaces.
show pas eswitch addresses fastethernet
slot/port
(ports 0 and 1)
show pas eswitch addresses ethernet
slot/port
(ports 2 through 13)
Displays the Layer 2 learned addresses for each interface.
