Hello all,
I am having an issue while trying to create a VLAN/SVI interface on my 6500 Metro Ethernet Aggregator.
I am receiving an error message that I cannot create an SVI without having the vlan added on the L2 vlan database, but the issue is that the vlan is already created there:
1. I created the vlan on the database:
CAT_6k_MT#conf t
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
CAT_6k_MT(config)#vlan 1241
CAT_6k_MT(config-vlan)#name test
CAT_6k_MT(config-vlan)#exit
% Applying VLAN changes may take few minutes. Please wait...
2. Trying to add the SVI interface for that vlan
CAT_6k_MT(config)#int vlan 1241
CAT_6k_MT(config-if)#no shut
CAT_6k_MT(config-if)#
Oct 14 10:11:04.241 CST: %PM-4-SVI_ADD_CORRESPONDING_L2_VLAN: Vlan 1241 must be added to L2 database in order to be used, do <vlan 1241> from config mode.
Oct 14 10:11:04.257 CST: %LINK-3-UPDOWN: Interface Vlan1241, changed state to down
Then I checked the vlan 1241 is created on the database:
CAT_6k_MT#sh vlan id 1241
VLAN Name Status Ports
---- -------------------------------- --------- -------------------------------
1241 VLAN1241 active Po11, Po61

------- --------- ----------------- ------------------------------------------
CAT_6k_MT#sh run int vlan 1241
Building configuration...
Current configuration : 41 bytes
!
interface Vlan1241
no ip address
end
But when I look at the interface vlan is always down/down:
CAT_6k_MT(config-if)#do sh int vlan 1241
Vlan1241 is down, line protocol is down
Hardware is EtherSVI, address is 0016.9c7b.d7c0 (bia 0016.9c7b.d7c0)

Last input never, output never, output hang never
Last clearing of "show interface" counters never
Input queue: 0/75/0/0 (size/max/drops/flushes); Total output drops: 0
Queueing strategy: fifo
Any ideas reagrding this?
Thanks for your help!

Are your ports Po11, and Po61 active and passing traffic already? Do you have any other physical interfaces assigned to that vlan? I think I've seen cases in the past where someone has had similar issues due to none of the physical interfaces in the vlan being active. So, for example, if there aren't any active ports in vlan 1241 then there's no need for interface vlan1241 to become up/up.

Alex,
Ensure that you have assigned the switch port(s) to VLAN on the switch side. Also ensure that at least one VLAN port on the switch is connected to the switch or the workstation, and is active.

Hello,
This issue has been resolved, the issue here was a corrupted database, I needed to reload the box and after that everything works fine.
