Is there any RFC for inter-VLAN communication.?. How can i perform inter-VLAN communication without an need of an external router.
Thanks

Cisco has implemented a proprietary VLAN Trunking Protocol right..I am looking for something equivalent to that.
Easy: with an internal router.
Apart from that, if you want direct layer 2 LAN connectivity, why use separate VLANs at all?
best regards Patrick
get a layer 3 switch (ie: a switch that is also a router) actually, layer 3 switches are better than just a "switch that is also a router" - they are faster than most routers, since they do the routing in hardware.
That's for trunking, if i understand it correctly. Lets you mux together a bunch of vlans inside a vlan.
Still doesn't route between the vlans.
Walter-
I was wondering about that - isn't that vlan trunking basically vlan inside a vlan type stuff?

What connection do you see between that an inter-vlan routing or other inter-vlan communication?
