It means that you have a Layer3 boundary between the Vlans, that is why you can communicate with the vlan having a different subnetwork

YES Sir i did it but it still can’t communicate the two VLAN in different switch and the same subnetwork but in different subnetwork in different switch is OK.

Hello,

How are the two switches connected together? You need to configure a trunk port between the two switches

Hi Everybody i have a problem in my lab test may be some of you here know how to solve this problem..i have 2 layer 3 switch and in every switch it has 2 VLAN’s in every VLAN i assign an IP address the same IP to the other VLAN of other switch.

SW1 @ VLAN1 = 10.10.10.0
VLAN2 = 10.10.11.0

SW2 @ VLAN1 = 10.10.10.0
VLAN2 = 10.10.11.0

VLAN1 in SW1 and VLAN2 in SW2 is ok but in VLAN1 in SW1
and VLAN1 in SW2 cant communicate each other as well as in VLAN2 in SW1 and VLAN2 in SW2.

i create a routing on it but it still not working.

any idea is appreciated..

As I understand you are using Vlan Trunking Protocol (VTP) with a VTP server and VTP clients. The purpose of VTP is to create a vlan on the Server switch and have that vlan created automatically to all other switches. VTP however can NOT assign interfaces to those vlans. You must assign the interfaces manually.

Hello everybody!
I’m doing something i packet tracer. I have 3 switches and 1 is server and others are clients. When I create new VLAN on SERVER, that VLAN is automaticly created on other SWITCHES, but when I assign interfaces to that new VLAN, those interfaces won’t assign automaticly to that new VLAN on client switches. Can I do something to automaticly assign interfaces to VLAN from SERVER?

Yes, you can use Packet Tracer (available only for Cisco Networking Academy students) to learn the basics of routing and switching. Packet Tracer is good up to CCNA level though. For more advanced topics (CCNP, CCIE level) is not enough.

Why don’t you install the printers in Student’s Vlans? With that, both students and personnel will be able to access the printers (since you said that personnel vlan can access the student vlan). You don’t have to create a new vlan just for the printers. This is my opinion.
