Refer to the exhibit.
You have configured an interface to be an SVI for Layer 3 routing capabilities. Assuming that
all VLANs have been correctly configured, what can be determined?
A.
Interface gigabitethernet0/2 will be excluded from Layer 2 switching and enabled for Layer
3 routing.
B.
The command switchport autostate exclude should be entered in global configuration
mode, not subinterface mode, to enable a Layer 2 port to be configured for Layer 3 routing.
C.
The configured port is excluded in the calculation of the status of the SVI.
D.
The interface is missing IP configuration parameters; therefore, it will only function at
Layer 2.
Explanation:
The SVI Autostate exclude feature shuts down (or brings up) the Layer 3 interfaces of a
switch when the following port configuration changes occur:
+ When the last port on a VLAN goes down, the Layer 3 interface on that VLAN is shut down
(SVI- autostated).
+ When the first port on the VLAN is brought back up, the Layer 3 interface on the VLAN that
was previously shut down is brought up.
SVI Autostate exclude enables you to exclude the access ports/trunks in defining the status
of the SVI (up or down) even if it belongs to the same VLAN. Moreover, even if the excluded
access port/trunk is in up state and other ports are in down state in the VLAN, the SVI state
is changed to down. At least one port in the VLAN should be up and not excluded to make
the SVI state “up.” This will help to exclude the monitoring port status when you are
determining the status of the SVI.
