Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Create the VLAN, then enter interface VLAN mode, then assign IP address, then enable the interface.
SVI configuration requires creating the VLAN, then the interface VLAN, assigning an IP, and enabling it.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Create the VLAN, then enter interface VLAN mode, then assign IP address, then enable the interface.
Why this is correct
This is correct because the VLAN must exist before you can configure the SVI; then you enter the interface VLAN config mode, assign an IP, and enable it with no shutdown.
- ✗
Enter interface VLAN mode, then assign IP address, then enable the interface, then create the VLAN.
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because you cannot enter interface VLAN mode or configure it before the VLAN is created; the interface does not exist yet.
- ✗
Create the VLAN, then assign IP address, then enter interface VLAN mode, then enable the interface.
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because the IP address must be assigned within the interface VLAN configuration mode, not before entering it.
- ✗
Create the VLAN, then enable the interface, then enter interface VLAN mode, then assign IP address.
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because you cannot enable the interface before entering its configuration mode; the no shutdown command is issued inside interface config mode.
