4.4 Configuring Switch Virtual Interfaces

A switch virtual interface (SVI) is required for layer 3 (IP) access to the switch or provide layer 3 service on a
VLAN. The SVI defines which IP address is associated with each VLAN ID the switch is connected to. A SVI
is created for the default VLAN (VLAN 1) to enable remote switch administration. A SVI is also used to map
a VLANs to IP address ranges. This mapping determines the destination networks for switch routing.
Each IP address range (IP Address and Subnet Mask) can be mapped to one (and only one) VLAN ID. A VLAN
ID does not require an IP address be defined on the switch. Each VLAN ID must be mapped to a physical port
using the Layer 2 Virtual LANs configuration to communicate with the rest of the network.
