you are talking bridging at layer 2 and routing at layer 3. If you want to bridge ip (layer 3 protocol), then you must turn off ip routing on the router that will be acting as the bridge. The other requirements are that your hosts must be in the same bridge-group and subnet. If you don't turn bridging off, it will not work. If you are using IRB or CRB then that is a different story. -----Original Message----- From: Faraaz Kolsy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, May 05, 2000 9:51 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: BRIDGING hey guys does anyone now if you have to have ip address on the interfaces if you are bridging, and if so, can the two routers have the same ip address if they are bridging, becuase i just had come across a situation where the two routers have have ip address's, and they bridging, no routing, please help Faraaz Kolsy CCNP,CCNA,MCSE+I LAN/WAN Specialist Digital Networks Corp. 11 Musick Irvine, CA 92618 Tel.
