Creating SVI vlan

[mike18]

Hi Everyone,

I am new to Alcatel.Need to create layer 3 vlan between two switches

sw1------------port1/1--vlan 10 ------------------port1/1 sw2--------vlan 20 IP 10.10.20.x-------server

Vlan 10 IP 10.10.10.x/24
Vlan 20 IP 10.10.20.x/24

Server IP 10.10.20.2
Server Gateway is Vlan 20 IP 10.10.20.1 on switch 2.

Sw1 is directly connected to sw2.
I have configured layer 2 and 3 vlan 10 on switch 1 and 2.

Need to know port 1/1 on switch 1 and 2 should i config it as tagged or untagged?
Also i want that switch1 should be able to ping to the server IP 10.10.20.2 for that to work do i need to create layer 2 vlan 20 on switch 1?

Regards
Mike

Hi Mike,

Need to know port 1/1 on switch 1 and 2 should i config it as tagged or untagged?

There is only one vlan per port. So it can be untagged (default vlan).

Also i want that switch1 should be able to ping to the server IP 10.10.20.2 for that to work do i need to create layer 2 vlan 20 on switch 1?

No, like you written to sw1 only vlan 10. you need at the sw1 static route 0.0.0.0/0 to gateway 10.10.10.1 (sw2) and at server gateway 10.10.20.1 (sw2).

So we can say that svi vlan 10 is routed port as it only carries 1 vlan and port is untagged and I am able to ping the IP of vlan 20?

yes, if the gateways are correct sets (ip of sw2) that it works. If you create ip interfacec an bound it at the correct vlans than routing is active by default.
