Bridge Virtual Interface (BVI) Configuration on Cisco ASR 9000

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

  1. Configure the interface

    interface GigE0/0/0/0
    description Connection to Server1 eth0
    l2transport

  2. 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
