<strong>CCNP</strong>v6 <strong>TSHOOT</strong><br />

A VLAN interface or SVI is up if there is at least one interface in the spanning-tree forwarding state for that VLAN.<br />

This implies that if an SVI is down, you should verify VLAN existence, VLAN port assignments, and the spanningtree<br />

state for the SVI.<br />

In the output above, you can see that a missing VLAN results in a VLAN interface that is in state “down, line<br />

protocol is down.”<br />

Verify SVI Status (VLAN with No Port Assigned)<br />

<br />

When the VLAN exists but no ports are assigned to that VLAN, the status of the SVI changes to “up, line protocol<br />

is down.”<br />

<br />

Finally, if ports are assigned to the VLAN and at least one of these physical ports (trunk or access port) is up, one<br />

more condition needs to be met: The spanning-tree state for at least one of the ports needs to be forwarding.<br />

Under normal circumstances, if there is at least one interface assigned to a VLAN, an interface is in spanning-tree<br />

forwarding state. Either the switch is the root for the VLAN and all the ports assigned to the VLAN are designated<br />

ports and therefore forwarding, or the switch is not the root and it has a root port that is in forwarding state.<br />

As a result, when you are troubleshooting a multilayer switching problem and you find that the ingress interface is<br />

an SVI and it is down, there is an underlying Layer 2 problem for that VLAN and you need to initiate a Layer 2<br />

troubleshooting process.<br />
