Hi Team,
This may be a dumb question but I haven't got any confirmations yet. Can Vlan be created on Meraki Layer 3 Switch?
I have a MS225-48P Switch, it's saying this Switch is a Layer 3 Switch that can do DHCP-Relay. See below for example I create an Interface for Vlan e.g.24 but his Vlan 24 is not created on MX Firewall. If I apply this interface setting on this Vlan, will this Vlan be created and existing on the Network or not?
Thanks.
Regards,
Marlon
Solved! Go to solution.
In both MS and MX you cannot create a layer 2 VLAN, as you only noticed layer 3, so if you need this VLAN in the MX you need to create a layer 3 interface in the MX too, otherwise you can work with routes.
Hi @Marlon , yes, you can create L3 VLANs on these switches. However, it won’t create the vlan on the MX which I think is what you’re asking?

Thanks, how to create a layer 3 interface in MX? Please also see what I just added on my first question and see if you can help? Thanks.
Maybe it will help you.
When you say "create a Layer 3 Interface in the MX", I assume you mean create a Static Route to route the Vlan subnet to a Layer 3 Interface?
Create a VLAN
Hi @DarrenOC , Thanks. Let me describe what I want to achieve on MS225.
I want to create a new Vlan e.g.24 by creating an Interface on MS225, and setup a DHCP Relay to MX Firewall. On MX, I setup a Static Route to go to Vlan 24 Subnet via the IP of MS225, and I Enable DHCP on this Static Route with the Gateway of the Interface created on MS225.
Vlan 24 is not created on MX, I want this MS225 to create Vlan 24 and apply DHCP Relay to MX. Is this logic correct? Any issues?

Sounds fine,
I think you also should set the tracking to uci

Hi @ww @alemabrahao , I think I find a right article (MX and MS Basic Recommended Layer 3 Topology)
to describe my scenario. In this topology the Vlan is created on layer3 Switch only and not go through MX. I think this is what I want. Thanks anyway.
