Introducing Cisco Data Center Networking (DCICN) — Question 57

Which statement is correct regarding a routed port on a multilayer switch?

Answer options

• A. A routed port requires an SVI definition.
• B. Routed ports cannot be configured on a multilayer switch that uses SVIs.
• C. A maximum of 32 routed ports can be provisioned on a given multilayer switch.
• D. A routed port is a physical port that supports Layer 3 routing.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because a routed port is indeed a physical port capable of Layer 3 routing, allowing for direct routing between VLANs. Option A is incorrect because an SVI definition is not needed for routed ports. Option B is also false as routed ports can be configured even when SVIs are used. Option C is misleading since the limitation on the number of routed ports can vary by switch model.
