How are you routing between the vlans? You will need some sort of routing device for communication between vlans. You will be able to accomplish the routing on the switch if it is a C3 or N-series.
The purpose of vlans on switches is traffic separation so the vlans are operating as designed. _________________ Angela K.

I'm using two L3 switches in (what I had hoped would be) a basic test. The setup is something like this: Computer --> Switch -- > Switch --> Computer. VLAN2 --> --> --> VLAN3 VLAN2: 10.10.20.1/24 VLAN3: 10.10.30.1/24 Computer 1: 10.10.20.100 Computer 2: 10.10.30.100 When both computers are on VLAN2 together, they can communicate just fine. When I change one over into VLAN3, however, they stop. Both switches still see both computers with the "show ip arp" and "show mac" commands, they just refuse to transmit packets through. Each computer is on ge.1.1, and both switches have ge.1.1 set to the computers respective VLAN with the opposite VLAN as a tagged egress VLAN. The trunk between switches has both VLAN2 and 3 as egress VLANs. I should also note that this behavior continues when I use only one switch, and leave out the trunk altogether. Since the problem only starts when I change one into a seperate VLAN, I assume the problem is either with my egress settings or the switches are somehow not transferring the packets between subnets/VLANs. Is there a non-default protocol I'm missing or something that would create this issue?
