By default, an SVI is created for the default VLAN (VLAN1) to permit remote switch administration. … Allow traffic to be routed between VLANs by providing a default gateway for the VLAN. Provide fallback bridging (if required for non-routable protocols). Provide Layer 3 IP connectivity to the switch
prime example of Cisco confusion…. why cant the just ask a straight question…. they must be banking of these cert exams…. to ask such vague questions…. in the real world you’d have the output of the sh ip route command and would know if the default route was configured….

Answer is both B and C, but B is the better one and thus final.
B

BCD correct i guess
IS “VICEGUIDE” REALLY GIVING US THE CORRECT ANSWERS? ,OR ITS NOT SURE OF WHAT ANSWERS THEY ARE GIVING?
The main function of the SVI is the remote administration of the device. Therefore the answer is B.
L2 switches do not provide any routing or any traffic routing for VLANs but you can configure SVI interface only for management. Traffic routing on L2 switches is impossible. You need a L3 switch for this. Thus the correct answer should be “D” because the question is not about only L3 switches.
Another Cisco question that doesn’t really make sense.
Both C and D are true:

SVIs are generally configured for a VLAN for the following reasons:
Allow traffic to be routed between VLANs by providing a default gateway for the VLAN. <———–
Provide fallback bridging (if required for non-routable protocols).
Provide Layer 3 IP connectivity to the switch. <———–
Support bridging configurations and routing protocol.
