SVI

[aksher]

does the number of SVI needs to be directly proportional to the number of vlans.say for ex. if there are 5 vlans and if inter vlan routing is to be implemented then there should be five SVIs configured?

Not exactly. You could use a L3 routed port instead. This basically turns your switchport into a router port.

Below would be an example;

Cat3560(config)#int gi0/1

Cat3560(config-if)#no switchport

Cat3560(config-if)#ip add 192.168.24.141 255.255.252.0
