What are the pros and cons of configuring a Switch Virtual Interface (SVI) versus a routed physical port between layer 3 switches?
For example, if I have two 4506s and have a need to run HSRP and route between them which feature is better and why?
switch_a
!
interface vlan 25
ip address 10.10.10.1 255.255.255.0
!
interface fa0/1
switchport mode trunk
switch_b
!
interface vlan 25
ip address 10.10.10.2 255.255.255.0
!
interface f0/1
switchport mode trunk
----------------------------------
switch_a
!
interface fa0/1
no switchport
ip add 10.10.10.1 255.255.255.0
switch_b
!
interface f0/1
no switchport
ip address 10.10.10.2 255.255.255.0
