Can I configure a switch to use a specific SVI or does the switch chooses it automatically?

Jacob Gwangwa

I have a 6509 VSS. This switch is configured with a Management VLAN called SWITCH_MANAGEMENT with this IP address 192.168.25.250 which i expect it to display in all neighbour switches when i do show cdp neighbour details.

VLAN Name                             Status    Ports

---- -------------------------------- --------- -------------------------------

5    SWITCH_MANAGEMENT                active    Gi1/2/26, Gi1/2/27, Gi1/5/1, Po21, Po22, Po24, Po25, Po26 - not complete.

However when i'm on a neighbour switch and do show cdp neighbour details it displays the below results which is not what i'm expecting;

Entry address(es):

IP address: 172.16.2.2

Platform: cisco WS-C6509-V-E,  Capabilities: Router Switch IGMP

Interface: GigabitEthernet2/3,  Port ID (outgoing port): GigabitEthernet2/2/2

Holdtime : 176 sec

Why cant this neighbour switch show this IP 192.168.25.250 as its purely configured for management? Instead it shows the IP of VLAN 2 see below config:

This IP 172.16.2.2 is configure for SVI VLAN 2;

interface Vlan2
description SERVER_VLAN_2
ip address 172.16.2.2 255.255.255.0

Any help in understanding this would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Jacob Gwangwa
