Is there an entry in the bridge table?
When you are sure that your bridged interface is forwarding, you need to determine if you have the Layer 2
media access control (MAC) address of your ISP's gateway router. Use the show bridge command to check
for the Layer 2 address. This command lists all the Layer 2 entries for a specific bridge group.
In the following example, there are two entries in the bridge table. The first entry is the MAC address of the
PC client in the LAN. The second entry is the MAC address of the ISP's gateway router (default gateway). If
the MAC address of the ISP's gateway router is not in the bridge table, contact your ISP to verify your
network settings.
