No traffic on any port, 2948g

[yowza]

We have 2 2948g's that are just being used as an expensive hub. I am unable to pass any traffic on any of the 15 ports I congifigured. I configured both 2948's identical so I know I configured them all wrong. My config for port 1 - 15 is:

interface fast 1
bridge-group 1
bridge-group 1 spanning-disabled
no ip directed-broadcast
no ip redirects
no ip proxy-arp
no shutdown

My OS is version 12.0(7)W5(15d) and config register is 0x2101.
Based on the above, can someone help me with the following:

1. Why can't I ping or pass traffic on any of the ports? Is there a command to activate each port or something like that?

2. The no shutdown does not appear when I do the show running-config, but the other no's do appear.

3. The 2 2948s are at a customer site. On the 2948 I have at my home base, I had to change the config register to 0x2102 in order to save my config and boot from nvram. The 2 2948s at the customer site is set to 0x2101 and it saves & boots fine. Why?

Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Yowza

Is this a 2948G L3 switch?

Yes it is a L3. As you can probably tell, I am new to the Cisco products. Does it make a difference if it is a L3 or not? I am thinking my problem has to do with the config register but I have not been able to find out what settings are available.

Thanks,

Can you post your config? I'm sure that if you do...we can work something out.

I'm assuming that all your end stations are on the same subnet. Your first post said your using the switch as an expensive hub.

I've never used a 2948G L3 before, but have you tried using this command?


config t
inter fa2
switchport
end

Found this on Cisco's web site.

This might be helpful. Ignore those commands I just posted.

Thanks for the info. At a quick glance it is almost identical to what I have. I will look at it in detail later on this afternoon.
