ICND2: Interconnecting Cisco Networking Devices Part 2 (legacy) — Question 144

Which functionality does an SVI provide?

Answer options

• A. OSI Layer 2 connectivity to switches
• B. remote switch administration
• C. traffic routing for VLANs
• D. OSI Layer 3 connectivity to switches C

Correct answer:

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as an SVI allows for routing traffic between VLANs at Layer 3. Option A is incorrect because SVIs operate at Layer 3, not Layer 2. Option B is not accurate as SVIs do not specifically provide remote administration capabilities, and option D is misleading because while SVIs do provide Layer 3 connectivity, the primary function is related to VLAN routing.
