Understanding Interface Types
Switch Virtual Interfaces
A switch virtual interface (SVI) represents a VLAN of switch ports as one interface to the routing or
bridging function in the system. Only one SVI can be associated with a VLAN, but you need to configure
an SVI for a VLAN only when you wish to route between VLANs, to fallback-bridge nonroutable
protocols between VLANs, or to provide IP host connectivity to the switch. By default, an SVI is created
for the default VLAN (VLAN 1) to permit remote switch administration. Additional SVIs must be
explicitly configured.
Note
You cannot delete interface VLAN 1.
SVIs provide IP host connectivity only to the system; in Layer 3 mode, you can configure routing across
SVIs.
Although the switch stack supports a total or 1005 VLANs (and SVIs), the interrelationship between the
number of SVIs and routed ports and the number of other features being configured might impact CPU
performance because of hardware limitations. See the
“Configuring Layer 3 Interfaces” section on
page 11-25
for information about what happens when hardware resource limitations are reached.
SVIs are created the first time that you enter the
vlan
interface configuration command for a VLAN
interface. The VLAN 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. Configure a VLAN
interface for each VLAN for which you want to route traffic, and assign it an IP address. For more
information, see the
“Manually Assigning IP Information” section on page 3-10
.
Note
When you create an SVI, it does not become active until it is associated with a physical port.
SVIs support routing protocols and bridging configurations. For more information about configuring IP
routing, see
Chapter 35, “Configuring IP Unicast Routing,”
Chapter 40, “Configuring IP Multicast
Routing,”
and
Chapter 42, “Configuring Fallback Bridging.”
Note
The IP base image supports static routing and RIP; for more advanced routing or for fallback bridging,
you must have the IP services image installed on the stack master.
