On a Cisco Catalyst switch, what are the Layer 3 interfaces called that are used to accomplish inter-VLAN routing?
- SVI
- SIP
- Trunk interfaces
- RIP
EXPLANATION
VLANs divide broadcast domains in a LAN environment. Whenever hosts in one VLAN need to communicate with hosts in another VLAN, the traffic must be routed between them. This is known as inter-VLAN routing. On Catalyst switches it is accomplished by creating Layer 3 interfaces known as Switch Virtual Interfaces (SVI).
