When you add ports to a virtual bridge, should you still be able to ping them? 
For some reason, I cannot ping the interface on the switch that a host connects

Do you mean, for example, if you add eth0 to br0, you can't ping the address 
assigned to eth0?  If so, then, no, you cannot ping the addresses of attached 
devices.  You can assign the IP address to br0, though, and that should work.

Yep, that's exactly what I meant. I tried giving my bridge, vbr0 an IP address using:

  ifconfig vbr0 192.168.100.1,

But I am unable to ping it. In order to get ping working before, when I was pinging from host to host, I had to set up the default entry on each host to be their outgoing interface, because it wouldn't work with the routers incoming interface. Should the default entry for the hosts be vbr0's new IP address?
