SVL: Configuration and operation of the MAC address learning process with the same MAC address table for all VLANs. If an individual MAC Address is learned in one VLAN, that learned information is used in forwarding decisions taken for that address relative to all other VLANs. SVL is suitable when you need to have asymmetric VLANs. Under normal circumstances, a pair of devices communicating in a VLAN environment will both send and receive using the same VLAN. However, there are some circumstances in which it is convenient to make use of two distinct VLANs, one used for A to transmit to B: the other used for B to transmit to A.
IVL: Configuration and operation of the MAC address learning process with difference MAC address table for all VLANs. If a given individual MAC Address is learned in one VLAN, that learned information is not used in forwarding decisions taken for that address relative to any other VLAN. IVL is suitable when two or more VLANs are connected by a bridge(switch) or there are duplicate MAC addresses on different VLANs.
