 Can two switches, having VLAN defined in each, communicate without the help of Layer-3 device?
IP range, Layer 2 switches, Layer 3 switches, Network design, Switch configuration, Switches, VLAN
If in a single L2 Switch, IPs of the same range can communicate - then what's the need of creating a VLAN for different IP range? Can two switches (having VLAN defined in each) communicate without the help of Layer-3 device? Thank you.
