  • Connect a smaller router to the serial interface to handle the inter-VLAN traffic.
  • Add two additional Fast Ethernet interfaces to the router to allow one VLAN per interface.
  • Connect a trunked uplink from the switch to one Fast Ethernet interface on the router and create logical subinterfaces for each VLAN.
  • Use serial-to-Fast Ethernet transceivers to connect two of the VLANs to the serial ports on the router. Support the other two VLANs directly to the available FastEthernet ports.
