Chapter 11 Configuring IRB on the ML-Series Card

IRB Configuration Example

	Command	Purpose
Step 4
Step 4	ML_Series(config-if)# ip address	Configures IP addresses on routed interfaces.
	ip-address ip-address-subnet-mask
Step 5
Step 5	ML_Series(config-if)# end	Returns to privileged EXEC mode.

To enable and configure IRB and BVI, perform the following procedure, beginning in global configuration mode:

	Command	Purpose
Step 1
Step 1	ML_Series(config)# bridge irb	Enables IRB. Allows bridging of traffic.
Step 2
Step 2	ML_Series(config)# interface bvi	Configures the BVI by assigning the number of the
	bridge-group	corresponding bridge group to the BVI. Each bridge
		group can have only one corresponding BVI.
Step 3
Step 3	ML_Series(config-if)# ip address	Configures IP addresses on routed interfaces.
	ip-address ip-address-subnet-mask
Step 4
Step 4	ML_Series(config-if)# exit	Exits the interface configuration mode.
Step 5
Step 5	ML_Series(config)# bridge bridge-group	Enables a BVI to accept and route routable packets
	route protocol	received from its corresponding bridge group.
		Enter this command for each protocol that you want
		the BVI to route from its corresponding bridge
		group to other routed interfaces.
Step 6
Step 6	ML_Series(config)# end	Returns to the privileged EXEC mode.
Step 7
Step 7	ML_Series# copy running-config	(Optional) Saves your configuration changes to
	startup-config	NVRAM.
