GIVEN: 9300: vlan 8 SVI= 172.16.8.1 , #no shut
9300(config-if)# do sh int vlan 8
Vlan8 is down (VLAN/BD is down), line protocol is down, autostate enabled.
Symptom: "line protocol is down"
I expect the reason is in the below solution, but I don't understand the explanation, or how to implement it.
Questions: 1. What is "BD"?
2. May you please better explain the below solution-- what is the cause for the above symptom?
3. How do I implement the solution?
Thank you!

..."Interface vlan attaches a L3 svi to an already existing L2 vlan. Vlan database is being deprecated and you can create the L2 vlan with "vlan 7 " in global config. You will still need a L2 vlan configured for your L3 svi."
