Which Layer 3 switch feature provides a virtual interface used to route traffic for a VLAN without a separate router?
a.A trunk port
b.A native VLAN
c.A loopback plug
d.A switched virtual interface (SVI)
Explanation
A switched virtual interface (SVI) is a virtual Layer 3 interface on a multilayer switch that routes traffic for an associated VLAN. This enables inter-VLAN routing entirely within the switch, avoiding router-on-a-stick. Each routed VLAN typically has its own SVI acting as the default gateway.
