Making VLAN on2x L3 switches

Hi everyone.

I have 2x L3 switches, 1x MS410, and 1x MS425.

 

they are connected as the diagram is shown.

I have some servers and storages connected to the MS 425. and i will use it as a core switch.

in MS 410 I have L2 switches connected directly via fiber.

then MS 410 connected directly via 10 Gb fiber connection to MS 425.

I have some VLAN for End users and some VLAN for servers and other resources.

I would like to know which one is better to do.

1. Using 2 diffrent SVI, make users VLAN on MS410 +DHCP server for those subnet and route them to MS 425 via default route and Make the rest of VLAN on MS425? First diagram.

2. Using just 1 SVI,make all VLAN + DHCP server for all subnet on MS 425 and avoid second hope for MS 410, second diagram.

Kind of a big deal

@Kave if you are going to allow all the VLANs over the 10GBe link then I'd go with your second option.  There is however a third option of having them split like your initial diagram and using a transit VLAN (or two) over the 10GBe link, if all the clients need the same restrictions, this could then allow for a more simple firewall rule set.  This can be important in Meraki switches as there is a fairly small finite number of rules that you can create.

Thank you for your responce.

i just would like to make VLAN pruning and i made Transit VLAN as x.x100.0/24 for all L3 switches and MX as well as you can see.

you talked about second transit VLAN, how it works i don't know about it?

Default route for MS 410 would be x.x.100 which is MS 425

 

Also need i make a static route on MX for ALL VLAN and make 1 static and default route for MS 425 to MX?

 

like i will make VLAN 100 on MX with x.x100.1 and On L3 x.x100.100 and the default route for MS425 would be x.x100.1 which is MX.
