Cisco 2600 setup as bridge can not ping address

[CassidyHunt]

I have a Cisco 2600 that is setup as a bridge with an address of 192.168.70.245 on int e0/0. Everything is working fine but I would like to start using SNMP to monitor the interface. For some reason it is not broadcasting that 192.168.70.245 address and does not allow me to ping or telnet to it.

Is there something I can enable in config that might be disabled to do this?

Thanks

Cassidy,

What I've had best results with in the past is to set every interface to the same ip address on a router that's acting as a tranparent bridge. Give it a shot.

I haven't done it yet but what I was curious is how would it handle monitoring SNMP on the ethernet interface?

should be fine - just add the appropriate snmp commands to the router to monitor and you should be good. be sure to use the 'ip default-gateway' command in global config to set the default gateway for the router.
