Inter-VLAN: 

It allows the users from one VLAN to access resources of other VLANs.



Requirements:

- Need at-least one router

- Every VLAN must have a default gateway



Inter-VLAN Routing Methods:

- Separate physical gateway on router

- Using sub-interface

- Using Layer3 switch

Inter-VLAN routing using Multi-Layer Switching:

- Need at-least one Multi-layer switche

- Gateway using SVI(Switch Virtual Interface) interfaces

- Enable IP routing on switch

Native VLAN:

- If a packet is received on a dot1q link, that does not have VLAN tagged, it assumes that it belongs to native VLAN

- Default native vlan is VLAN 1



Native VLAN best practices:

- Best practice is to configure the Native VLAN ID to VLAN 666 and to ensure that this VLAN is not used anywhere in the network

- No ports should be assigned to the native VLAN

- An attacker who attempts to use the VLAN hopping attack will end up in a dead VLAN that has no hosts to leverage
