Hi,
Bridge-group is used to bridge interfaces rather than routing between them on a Cisco router, for example to bridge 2 Ethernet interfaces:
Router#configure terminal
Router(config)#bridge 1 protocol ieee
Router(config)#interface ethernet 0
Router(config-if)#bridge group 1
Router(config-if)#no shut
Router(config)#interface ethernet 1
Router(config-if)#bridge group 1
Router(config-if)#no shut
Router(config-if)#end
1.You can configure up to eight bridge groups of two interfaces each.
2.You can only assign two interfaces to a bridge group.
3.You cannot assign the same interface to more than one bridge group. Each bridge group connects to a separate network.
4.Bridge group traffic is isolated from other bridge groups; traffic is not routed to another bridge group unless using BVI (Bridge Virtual Interface) interfaces and IRB (Integrated Routing and Bridging).
HTH, please do rate all helpful replies,

Hi,
A bridge group is configured on a router in order to bridge between interfaces rather than to route. The interfaces of this group bridge between themselves.
Bridging between the interfaces of a router is required when a vlan has to span accross a router.
HTH, Please rate if it does
