Configuring Switch Virtual Interfaces

A Switch Virtual Interface (SVI) is required for layer 3 (IP) access to the switch or to provide layer 3
service on a VLAN. The SVI defines which IP address is associated with each VLAN ID that the
switch is connected to. An SVI is created for the default VLAN (VLAN 1) to enable remote switch
administration. An SVI is also used to map 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.
Use the Switch Virtual Interfaces screen to view and configure VLAN interfaces. This screen
contains two tabs supporting the following activities:
