Oracle recommends that each RAC Interconnect have a dedicated switch, let alone sharing a single VLAN for multiple RACs (Assuming multiple RAC clusters because you pluralized Interconnect). It can work, but you may run into performance problems and troubleshooting difficulties should the switch backplane(s) you're using as Interconnects become saturated.
