Understanding the Default Fallback Bridging Configuration
Table 16
shows the default fallback bridging configuration.
Creating a Bridge Group
To configure fallback bridging for a set of SVIs or routed ports, these interfaces must be assigned to
bridge groups. All interfaces in the same group belong to the same bridge domain. Each SVI or routed
port can be assigned to only one bridge group. A maximum of 31 bridge groups can be configured on
the switch.
