Router 2 and Router 3 on the bridging network act as a kind of gateway to the Layer 3
routers in the rest of the network. Router 2 and Router 3 must be able to route packets
as well as bridge frames. This requires the configuration of integrated routing and bridging
(IRB) on Routers 2 and 3. The link to the router network is
on Router 3.

You configure IRB in two steps:
Configure the IRB interface using the
1.
Reference the IRB interface at the bridge domain level of the configuration.
2.
IRB supports Layer 2 bridging and Layer 3 routing on the same interface. If the MAC
address on the arriving frame is the same as that of the IRB interface, then the packet
inside the frame is routed. Otherwise, the MAC address is learned or looked up in the MAC
address database.
NOTE: You configure IRB on Router 2 and Router 3. The Virtual Router
Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) is configured on the IRB interface so that both
links can be used to carry traffic between the bridge domain and the router
network.
To configure IRB on Router 2 and Router 3:
Configure the router link and IRB on Router 2:
