Answer Wiki:
Switches are tradionally layer 2, so in order for two different networks to communicate, you need a layer 3 device (router,layer3 switch, firewall) that can route between the two networks. If you just want hosts on the same VLAN to communicate with each other through the two switches, all you need is a cross-over cable connected to a port on each switch in the same VLAN. This setup will allow all nodes say in VLAN 4 to communicate across the two switches, but VLAN 4 will not be able to communicate with VLAN 2
