Inter-VLAN Communication Tips

  • Although most older routers (routers running IOS 12.2 and earlier) support both ISL and dot1q, some switch models support only dot1q, such as the 2960, 2960-x, 3650, and 9200 series. Check with the version of IOS you are using to determine whether ISL or dot1q is supported.

    • ISL will probably not be an option, as it has been deprecated for quite some time.

    • If you need to use ISL as your trunking protocol, use the command encapsulation isl x, where x is the number of the VLAN to be assigned to that subinterface.

  • Recommended best practice is to use the same number as the VLAN number for the subinterface number. It is easier to troubleshoot VLAN 10 on subinterface fa0/0.10 than on fa0/0.2.
