Re: SVI Doubt

When performing a show version you can see:

*Base ethernet MAC Address: *XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX

That is the address used by the SVI (all of them)
And all the other ports are incremented

So
F0/1 will be XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:X1
F0/2 will be XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:X2
...

On the MAC address table you can see the STATIC and normally the first MAC
is the SVI's MAC, the others are the physical ports

sh mac address-table | in STATIC

 For a SVI to transition to the port stat up/up

You must have the following conditions:

* vlan must exist in VLAN database
* vlan need to be assigned to at least one switched port
* and the port must be in STP forwarding state

if all this are met the port will transition automatically, and that is
what called SVI autostate
