Hi,
I’m new to the study list, but I believe I can contribute to this issue. My understanding is this… In order for the SVI for that VLAN to come “up and up”, you need to have an interface on that local switch assigned to that VLAN. In other words, at least one of the ports must have that VLAN assigned to it as an access VLAN or at least one of the ports must be trunking that VLAN. This also implies that the VLAN exists in the local VLAN database.

Under what circumstances do we have int vlan <> in down state ? I know that if we create " int vlan x " and vlan x do not exist in vlan database then there will be no spanning tree instance for this vlan and the int vlan x will be down .. Is there some other case also ; where int vlan x is down .. I note that only vlan presence is the criterai .. Even if i disable STP for this vlan .. i see interface in UP state . Thnx Gaurav Madan.
