I want to add a new layer 3 switch to my network. It is going to be connected to an existing access/edge switch via a layer 3 link (Not a trunk). How do I get all the vlan's (11, 12 & 13) across to the new switch?
If the link is a L3 routed link then you need to route between vlans on both switches. You cannot have the same vlan at L2 on both switches because there is no L2 adjacency between the switches.
So your vlans 10,11 & 12 on your existing switch cannot also be on your new switch. You could use the same vlan numbers on your new switch but they would be different vlans ie. a client in vlan 10 on your new switch would not be in the same vlan as a client in vlan 10 on your existing switch.
If you want the same vlans on both switches you need to use a L2 trunk.
