VLAN routing across a T1? Why?

[pytre]

I have two sites, local and remote, that have a Point-to-point T1 in-between. Both sites have VLANs used to isolate the data.

When I need to send traffic from VLAN2 at the local site, to VLAN2 on the remote site, is that possible? My thinking is that the router at the local end strips off the VLAN information, and that the switch port at the remote side that is attached to the remote router would send the packet on the native VLAN. So how would a VLAN2 device on the remote end get any traffic from the local end?

You need router with a fast ethernet interface that supports 802.1q or ISL, or if you have a router with multiple ethernet interfaces.. One way or another you need to need to get data into that 2nd VLAN.. Then you could setup access-lists to protect it from VLAN1

If the two routers you have already are cisco, then you can use those routers to do the routing for your.

You would create an isl trunk on the router's ethernet port and on the switch to share the vlan information. Then setup the necessary routing to share w/ the other router via static, rip, eigrp, ospf, etc.
