Configuring
Virtual

Context

BVI

Interfaces
You
can

configure

Bridge-Group

Virtual

Interfaces

(BVI)

for

virtual

contexts.

The

ACE

supports

virtual
contexts
containing

BVI

interfaces.

You

can

configure

two

interface

VLANs

into

a

group

and

bridge
packets
between

them.

All

interfaces

are

in

one

broadcast

domain

and

packets

from

one

VLAN

are
switched
to

the

other

VLAN.

The

ACE

bridge

mode

supports

only

two

Layer

2

VLANs

per

bridge

group.
