Hello experts.
I am trying to connect a Catalyst 3850 to Nexus 9K.
In the main this has been successful, unfortunately whilst the 9K sees the CDP neighbour fine, and can ping the 3850 switch management address I am unable to ping the 3850 from other subnets.
=== On the Nexus 9K ===
interface port-channel5

switchport trunk allowed vlan 10,111,604,631,999

The switch configuration is very simple, trunk with the same native vlan 111, and single management IP address in vlan 999.
I seem to be missing s simple trick, any advice ?
With regards

Hi,
Where is the layer-3 interfaces (SVIs) for each vlan?
Can you post configs?

Thanks for responding.
The management interface of the 3850 switch is in VLAN 999
On the 9K I have:
interface Vlan1
no ip redirects
no ipv6 redirects
interface Vlan966
description L3-transit-to-Core
no shutdown
no ip redirects
ip address 10.##.##.##/28
hsrp 3
priority 110
ip 10.##.##.##
interface Vlan999
description Management
no shutdown
ip address 10.##.##.##/23
I am unable to ping from a client VLAN, eg vlan 9 which is just hosts on a separate subnet (routed by a 6500 chassis) to the management address of the switch on VLAN 999.
The 9K can ping the switch fine, and sees the CDP neighbour fine - so I agree its a routing issue, but I'm no expert .
Kind regards
Dave

Hi,
In order for other subnets to be able to reach vlan 999 on the 3850, the 3850 need to have a default gateway.
ip default-gateway <ip address of the gateway>
Does the 3850 have this command?

Thanks Reza.
Yes the 3850 has the default gateway configured. If I connect the 3850 to another device I can ping and manage the switch etc. The problem occurs when I connect the 3850 switch to the Nexus 9K, so I believe I've missed a command, just not sure what I've missed. Thanks for taking the time to reply, appreciated. Regards Dave
