Hello,
I'm currently studying to take the CCNA and recently got this question wrong. I wanted to bounce this off the community in an attempt to get some clarification. I have built a dozen or so labs with "multiple" switches involved. In the past, I have been able to trunk ports between switches and allow communication between VLANs, or am I wrong? I guess my questions are, One, is it possible to have "two" switches trunked together both with separate VLANs, meaning SW1 has vlan 5 and SW2 has vlan6, connected with by Fastethernet, and nodes in vlan5 can ping nodes in vlan6 and vice versa? And two, if that question is correct is it only possible because there is a trunking line between them?
I could have sworn I built labs with 3 switches each with its own VLAN and all 3 were able to ping WITHOUT the use of a router....
thanks
