Command History
Usage Guidelines
SVIs are created the first time that you enter the
interface vlan
vlan-id
command for a particular VLAN.
The
vlan-id
corresponds to the VLAN-tag associated with data frames on an ISL or IEEE 802.1Q
encapsulated trunk or the VLAN ID configured for an access port.
Note
When you create an SVI, it does not become active until it is associated with a physical port.
If you delete an SVI by entering the
no interface vlan
vlan-id
command, the deleted interface is no
longer visible in the output from the
show interfaces
privileged EXEC command.
Note
You cannot delete the VLAN 1 interface.
You can re-instate a deleted SVI by entering the
interface vlan
vlan-id
command for the deleted
interface. The interface comes back up, but the previous configuration is gone.
The interrelationship between the number of SVIs configured on a switch and the number of other
features being configured might have an impact on CPU utilization due to hardware limitations. You can
use the
sdm prefer
global configuration command to reallocate system hardware resources based on
templates and feature tables. For more information, see the
sdm prefer
command.
vlan-id
VLAN number. The range is 1 to 4094.
