Hi group.
I need to clarify (and simplify) my studies on SVI and L3 Etherchannel.
1. What is the purpose of having a L3 (routed) Etherchannel? I hope it's
not just to have a 800-Mb P2P link running IP routing.
2. Is SVI used only to route between VLAN's INTERNALLY in the same
switch? The configuration guide seems to indicate this type of interface
is used to "bridge" between VLANs internally thereby keeping the router
doing inter-VLAN routing from doing the work. Can you "span" this
VLAN-to-VLAN routing between two 3550s if they have a trunk connection?
 
Thanks in advance for the replies.
 
Elmer
