An administrator needs to enable communication between hosts on different VLANs within the same network. Which solution would BEST accomplish this task?
Configure trunk ports between the switches
Implement interVLAN routing using subinterfaces on a router
Enable Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) on all switches
Assign all switch ports to a single VLAN
To enable communication between hosts on different VLANs, interVLAN routing must be implemented. A common method is using a router-on-a-stick configuration, where a router interface is subdivided into subinterfaces, each associated with a VLAN. This allows the router to route traffic between VLANs effectively. Configuring trunk ports between switches allows multiple VLANs to pass between switches but doesn't provide the routing capability needed for interVLAN communication. Assigning all ports to the same VLAN would eliminate VLAN segmentation, negating the purpose of VLANs. Enabling STP helps prevent layer 2 loops but does not facilitate routing between VLANs.
