Before you begin

  • Configure the tenant and VRF.

Procedure

  3. In the work pane, click the SVI tab, and click the + icon.

    The SVI dialog box opens.

  4. Configure the SVI:

    1. From the Path Type drop-down list, choose the required path type.
    2. From the Path drop-down list, choose the physical interface.
    3. In the Encap field, specify the VLAN encapsulation.
    4. From the Auto State drop-down list, choose Enabled.

      The default value is Disabled.

      Tip

      To verify or change auto state for an existing SVI, select the SVI on the SVI tab and review the Auto State value.

    5. Click OK.

SVI auto state is enabled for the SVI in the logical interface profile.
