Re: Switched Virtual Interfaces on Cat3550 vs Cat6500

Hi, guys.

I tested the issue below in my lab.

The SVI never becomes up/up until there is forwarding ports in the relevant VLAN.

The forwarding port may be an forwarding access port to which the VLAN is assigned,

or a trunk port in forwarding state as for the VLAN which the SVI is configured.

Otherwise, the SVI will appear up/down.

HTH

Regards,
Nick
