Answers Explanation & Hints: The “ip address” command is used to assign an IP address to a switch interface.
In this case, the command “BranchSw(config-if)# ip address 172.18.33.88 255.255.255.0” assigns the IPv4 address 172.18.33.88 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 to the switch interface configured in interface configuration mode (config-if).
Therefore, the correct answer is: “It applies an IPv4 address to the virtual interface.”
