I'm praticising on a lab with my 3550.
I know there are SVIs on the 3550, but this is an excercise.
What I did is:
3550-XL(config)# bridge irb
interface FastEthernet0/1
no switchport
no ip address
speed 100
duplex full
bridge-group 50
!
interface FastEthernet0/2
no switchport
no ip address
speed 100
duplex full
bridge-group 50
interface BVI50
ip address 192.168.5.1 255.255.255.0
+
(they should be alreeady on by default, but for consistency...)
3550-XL(config)#bridge 50 bridge ip
3550-XL(config)#bridge 50 route ip
My 2 clients (192.168.5.100 - 192.168.5.101) are connected to Fastethernet 0/1 - 0/2
but none of them can ping each other or the IP address assigned to the BVI50 interface.
If I do a:
3550-XL(config)#show interface irb
FastEthernet0/1
Routed protocols on FastEthernet0/1:
ip
Software MAC address filter on FastEthernet0/1
Hash Len Address Matches Act Type
0x00: 0 ffff.ffff.ffff 0 RCV Physical broadcast
0x8F: 0 000f.8f9a.9000 0 RCV Bridge-group Virtual Interface
0xC1: 0 0100.0ccc.cccd 0 RCV SSTP MAC address
0xC2: 0 0180.c200.0000 0 RCV IEEE spanning tree
FastEthernet0/2
Routed protocols on FastEthernet0/2:
ip
Software MAC address filter on FastEthernet0/2
Hash Len Address Matches Act Type
0x00: 0 ffff.ffff.ffff 0 RCV Physical broadcast
0x8F: 0 000f.8f9a.9000 0 RCV Bridge-group Virtual Interface
0xC1: 0 0100.0ccc.cccd 0 RCV SSTP MAC address
0xC2: 0 0180.c200.0000 0 RCV IEEE spanning tree
As you can see both have the routing protocol (IP), but there should be also a bridge protocol somewhere.
I can't figure out what's going on.
May be a wrong IOS version?
Thanks to read!

I assume that you turned on Bridging IRB. Does your BVI show UP UP when you do a Show Ip int Brief? What do your ARP tables show? I used BVIs on two routers within the same IP subnet not quite the same thing your doing with just one side.

3550 DOES NOT support run of the mill bridging for IP, this the reason you are not able to ping between two devices in the same bridge-group. In addition the 3550 does not support BVI, for that as you are well aware it uses SVI.
These link documents "UNSUPPORTED" commands on 3550:
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/lan/c3550/12225see/scg/swuncli.htm#wp1012982
In that link you will find BVI is unsupported, bridge-group is unsupported, etc.
3550 supports Fallback Bridging for NON-IP traffic like DECnet.
