What is the IP address of the switch virtual interface (SVI) on Switch0?

• 192.168.5.10
• 192.168.10.5
• 192.168.10.1
• 192.168.5.0

Explanation: Open the PT activity. Click PC0 > Desktop tab > Terminal > OK to open a console session to Switch0 (its hostname is LocalSw01).

The SVI is the logical VLAN interface (here Vlan1) that holds the switch's management IP address. After you enter privileged EXEC mode with enable, either show ip interface brief or show running-config displays the address.

Method 1: show ip interface brief. Look at the Vlan1 line. All physical ports show unassigned because a Layer 2 switch port has no IP address.

LocalSw01> enable
LocalSw01# show ip interface brief
Interface              IP-Address      OK? Method Status                Protocol
FastEthernet0/1        unassigned      YES manual up                    up
FastEthernet0/2        unassigned      YES manual down                  down
<output omitted>
GigabitEthernet0/1     unassigned      YES manual down                  down
GigabitEthernet0/2     unassigned      YES manual down                  down
Vlan1                  192.168.5.10    YES manual up                    up

Method 2: show running-config. Find the interface Vlan1 section.

LocalSw01# show running-config

The SVI on Switch0 is 192.168.5.10 with subnet mask 255.255.255.0.

• 192.168.10.5 and 192.168.10.1 are not configured anywhere on this switch.
• 192.168.5.0 is the network address of the 192.168.5.0/24 subnet, so it cannot be assigned to an interface.
