In Cisco IOS Software, the concept of sc0/sc1 interface does not exist; network-based switch
management is now accomplished with the use of switch virtual interfaces (SVIs), which are
discussed further in the following section. For every Layer 2 VLAN that is created, there can also
be a corresponding SVI. Each SVI can have one or more IP addresses, which are used for
accessing the device on the particular VLAN using an SNMP or telnet client. The following
command displays the VLAN SVIs and the associated IP addressing for managing the system.

Switch Configuration: Making Changes
Configuration changes in the Cisco Catalyst OS software are written to NVRAM immediately after
a change is made; no intervention by the user is required. All configurations in the Cisco Catalyst
OS are done using a “set” command sequence, implemented from the enabled-mode prompt. The
clear command from the same prompt will erase a particular command.
In contrast, Cisco IOS Software does not save configuration changes to NVRAM unless the copy
run start (or write memory) command is executed. If the configuration is not explicitly saved, any
changes to the configuration will be lost if the system is reloaded. All command line configuration
in Cisco IOS Software (whether on the supervisor or the MSFC) is done from the configuration
mode, commonly known as “config-t”. Commands can be removed with the no form of the original
command.
Port Behavior
The following section details the differences in port behavior between the Cisco Catalyst OS and
Cisco IOS Software.
Hybrid Behavior: Cisco Catalyst OS with Cisco IOS Software on the MSFC
The hybrid model offers a very tight integration of the Layer 2/4 Cisco Catalyst OS features with
the Layer 3 Cisco IOS Software on the MSFC feature set. Layer 2 ports (such as access and trunk
ports) and VLANs are configured with the Cisco Catalyst OS command set, and Layer 3 SVIs are
configured with the MSFC Cisco IOS Software command set. Ports are configured in Layer 2
VLANs with Cisco Catalyst OS (set vlan x <slot/port>), thus corresponding Layer 3 SVIs must be
created to enable inter-VLAN routing for the particular VLANs. You create SVIs using the interface
vlan command. In the hybrid model, the MSFC operates on these logical interfaces (interface vlan
10) rather than on physical interfaces (interface gig 1/1). Figure 6 illustrates these concepts and
the associated commands to use Layer 2 and/or Layer 3 functionality.
