[c-nsp] VLAN bridging on 3560

Hi all,

I don't know if this is even possible but I'll try and make it work none the
less!  

I am trying to bridge 4 vlans (reduced to 2 vlans for now to get working)
together on a 3560 to allow a sudo transparent transport for a customer.
The VLANs are delivered to me from a third party provider as dot1q vlans and
all arrive on the same trunk port on the 3560.  I have created the VLAN and
SVI for each connection.  In each SVI I have added bridge-group 2 to the
configuration to each of the 4 svi's I would like to see bridged. I have
bridge 2 protocol vlan-bridge configured as well as bridge irb in the
configuration.

The customer has a flat network of 192.168.0.x/24 configured on their
equipment at each site and need to contact a host at site A.  I am not able
to get any response from each end point via the bridge, but if I place an IP
on the SVI, I can pass traffic on each separate SVI. Mac addresses only
appear on each vlan and not on the bridge group.

#  show bridge 2 group

Bridge Group 2 is running the VLAN Bridge compatible Spanning Tree protocol

   Port 2280 (Vlan212) of bridge group 2 is forwarding
   Port 2282 (Vlan214) of bridge group 2 is forwarding



interface Vlan212
 no ip address
 bridge-group 2
end
!
interface Vlan214
 no ip address
 bridge-group 2
end

Any idea's where I should start looking for clues?

Regards,
Jeff.
