Hi all,
is it possible to use bridging with MPLS, or these two are just
not compatible? What I need is something like this on core
router (same customer on S1/0 and S1/2 with nonsubneted /24):

ip vrf foo
 rd 10:10
 route-target export 10:10
 route-target import 10:10

interface Serial1/0
 ip vrf forwarding foo
 ip address 10.0.0.1 255.255.255.0
 bridge-group 1
end

interface Serial1/2
 ip vrf forwarding foo
 ip address 10.0.0.5 255.255.255.0
 bridge-group 1
end

bridge 1 protocol ieee

In vanilla bridging (without vrf) this will work if routing is disabled
(no ip routing). But in this case routing cannot be disabled and IRB
also wasn't cooperative with VRF.

Any ideas or hints?
