Cisco BVI (Bridge Virtual Interface) enables Layer 3 routing on a bridge group, connecting different Layer 2 networks.
BVI (Bridge Group Virtual Interface) is a routed interface that represents a set of interfaces that gets bridge.
Here is the sample Bridge Virtual Interface (BVI) Configuration on Cisco ASR 9000.
Fig1.
Configuration:
RP/0/RSP1/CPU0:ASR9000#configure
- Configure the interface
interface GigE0/0/0/0
description Connection to Server1 eth0
l2transport - Configure the l2vpn
l2vpn
bridge group 1000
bridge-domain 1000
interface GigE0/0/0/0
routed interface BVI1000
3.Configure the Bridge Virtual Interface (BVI)
interface BVI1000
description BVI to Server1
ipv4 address 192.168.0.1 255.255.255.0
Verification:
show ip int b
show interface BVI1000
show l2vpn bridge-domain group 1000
show arp BVI1000
Sample:
RP/0/RSP1/CPU0:ASR9000#show l2vpn bridge-domain group 1000
