Configuring Fallback Bridging
Default Fallback Bridging Configuration
shows the default fallback bridging configuration.
Fallback Bridging Configuration Guidelines
Up to 32 bridge groups can be configured on the switch.
An interface (an SVI or routed port) can be a member of only one bridge group.
Use a bridge group for each separately bridged (topologically distinct) network connected to the switch.
Do not configure fallback bridging on a switch configured with private VLANs.
All protocols except IP (Version 4 and Version 6), Address Resolution Protocol (ARP), reverse ARP
(RARP), LOOPBACK, and Frame Relay ARP are fallback bridged.
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.
Note
The protected port feature is not compatible with fallback bridging. When fallback bridging is enabled,
it is possible for packets to be forwarded from one protected port on a switch to another protected port
on the same switch if the ports are in different VLANs.
