1. Connect the two Layer 3 switches together with a trunk link.
2. Configure the first switch with a VLAN interface (VIF) per VLAN you plan to route between. Assign an IP address to each VLAN interface.
3.Configure a trunking protocol such as 802.1Q on the trunk link connecting the two switches so that each VLAN is allowed to pass through.
4. Configure static routes on each switch pointing to the subnets associated with each VLAN.
5. Create an access list on each switch to control which traffic can pass through the trunk link.
6. Enable routing protocols like RIPv2 or OSPF if desired to facilitate dynamic routing.
7. Test with a ping utility to verify that hosts from one VLAN can reach hosts in another.
