SVI's

[aaronkb2002]

Hi 

If I have a layer 3 switch ( 3850 ) configured with 4 SVI's ( VLAN ) -

conf t

interface vlan 1 

ip address x.x.x.x

VLAN ( SVI ) 1 - 10.X.X.X

VLAN (SVI ) 2 - 20.X.X.X

VLAN (SVI) 3 - 30.X.X.X

VLAN ( SVI ) 4 - 40.X.X.X

I have servers on each VLAN with 2 NICS 

will the servers need to be connected to each VLAN in order to pass packets between them ? 

Thanks !!

The servers will be able to talk to each other as there all connected to the same layer 3 switch , once you have not restricted the ports or applied any acls to the svis, its all in the same data plane

Hello

"will the servers need to be connected to each VLAN in order to pass packets between them ?"

No they wont -

Enable ip routing on the L3 switch and assign the servers an access port relating to one of the vlans,

The servers will use a default-gateway which will be the  L3 awitch SVI interface to that partciular vlan the server is in and then you will have connectivity.
