Refer to the exhibit. What is the effect of the given configuration?
The correct answer is A. It configures an inactive switch virtual interface.. Without the exhibit, assuming a common scenario where a Switch Virtual Interface (SVI) is created but not assigned an IP address or explicitly shut down, it remains in an inactive state.

Why each option
Without the exhibit, assuming a common scenario where a Switch Virtual Interface (SVI) is created but not assigned an IP address or explicitly shut down, it remains in an inactive state.
An SVI (Switch Virtual Interface) is configured using the `interface Vlan <VLAN ID>` command. If this interface is created but not assigned an IP address or is explicitly set to `shutdown`, it will remain in an inactive (down/down) state, meaning it cannot process or forward IP traffic for that VLAN.
An active management interface would require an IP address and `no shutdown` status on the SVI.
The native VLAN is typically configured on a trunk port (`switchport trunk native vlan X`), not by just creating an SVI.
The term "default VLAN" usually refers to VLAN 1, which is always present by default, not something explicitly configured as such.
