Troubleshooting Inter-VLAN Routing: SVIs, Router-on-a-Stick, and ARP Issues
Inter-VLAN routing failures are usually caused by SVIs in down state, missing routes, DHCP misconfiguration, or ARP timeouts. Learn to diagnose and fix them systematically.

Layer 3 switches route between VLANs in hardware at wire speed — no external router bottleneck. Here is how to configure SVI-based inter-VLAN routing on a Catalyst 9300.
When you don't have a Layer 3 switch, router-on-a-stick provides inter-VLAN routing via a single physical link split into subinterfaces. Learn when this design is appropriate, how to configure subinterfaces, and why it's a bandwidth bottleneck.
