Cisco Router Bridge Config

[archivalbackup]

I am setting up a 2811 with a 16 port switch module. I have the router and the switch module configured, and everything seems to be working just fine (ping end to end).

I want to know if I can use the second built in Gig port as a switched interface accessible by the other servers on the switch by creating a bridge group or something similar. They want to put a Database server on the gig port that the 16 servers will access. The port will need to be in the same subnet that is assigned to the switch module.

Problem is that when I go to the Gi0/1 and Vlan1 interface and enter bridge-group 1, then bridge 1 protocol ieee everything breaks.

Ideas?

Can you put a router interface in a single vlan w/o trunking?

Ok, maybe I do not need a bridge, but how do I get a switch vlan to talk to a router interface vlan.

sdi#sh vlan-switch

VLAN Name Status Ports
---- -------------------------------- --------- -------------------------------
1 default active Fa0/1/0, Fa0/1/1, Fa0/1/2
Fa0/1/3

sdi#sh vlans

Virtual LAN ID: 1 (IEEE 802.1Q Encapsulation)

vLAN Trunk Interface: FastEthernet0/1.1

Ok, maybe I am just not thinking straight today.

Could I put no ip address on the interface, or the switch vlan, then set up a BVI and Bridge IRB and put the network address on the bridge, then add bridge group to the vlan and interface and be golden?

I'll lab this out at home and post back.
