in trunking, can i use layer 2 and 3 just to trunk? or it should be the same type of switches? thanks...

No u can use any switch for trunking as its a layer 2 funtion.

Thanks

thanks, just a follow up question. For inter VLAN, should both layer 3 switches enable routing proto (.e.g RIP, OSPF). thanks

For intervlan routing to occur u need to create SVI's for each vlan on u r layer 3 switch.eg

int vlan 1

ip address a.b.c.d subnetmask

like this u have to create for each vlan.

there is no need to enable any dynamic routing protocol as all the networks will be directly connected.

Thanks

In addition to Mahmood's post, on a Layer 3 switch you have to use "IP routing " to enable inter-vlan routing. For example

Conf t

Ip routing

int vlan 1

ip address x.x.x.x a.a.a.a

no shut

int vlan 2

ip address y.y.y.y a.a.a.a
