Good Morning,
I setup a brand new 4500x 16 port Distribution switch with SVI's on it and they won't come up. The license feature is ipbase. I activated and accepted the EULA for the ipbase without activating and accepting the EULA for the iplan feature. Would that be a reason?
Thank you in advance.

Do you have either -
1) ports assigned to those vlans that are up/up
or
2) trunk ports to other switches that allow those vlans that are up/up
if you have neither of the above then your SVIs will stay down (I'm assuming you did a "no shut" under the SVI).

Jon,
I did have a port configured for one of the VLAN's on the switch, but the end device was a older laptop so I had to set the speed to 100. I did the shut, no shut on all ports including the SVI and nothing.
I'll try trunking to an access layer switch with 10/100/1G ports and see if that will do it.
I'll let you know.

It works when I trunk to an access layer switch. I thought it would've worked by setting one of the local ports to one of the VLAN's and putting something on the port. I had even put my work laptop with a 1Gb NIC on the port and set a static IP, but nothing. I am able to do that with the 3750G series and 3750x series distribution switches and get it to work. But not the 4500x. I am beginning to not like the 4500x.

It should work with a laptop as long as the port is up/up.
Obviously that will only bring up the SVI for the vlan that the port is assigned to.
