Thank you very much Carmen,

My original plan was not to have a "bvi interface", I do not see the 
need if I just want to switch packet at level 2.
I wonder if "bvi interface" is mandatory? Anyway I will try now.

But I have the same felling as you if the interface is down, there is 
also another pb ...

Regards
Xavier
