Hi all,<br />
<br />
I've got two Catalyst 3560 switches in a basic configuration linked by fiber. I now want to designate a port on each switch to a separate vlan other than the default. How would I designate a vlan for the respective ports on the switches and how would I setup the GBIC ports (fiber) to route both (default &amp;&nbsp;new vlan) VLANs?<br />
<br />
Thanks!

Routing VLANs between Catalyst switches

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.
