Establishing communication between two networks via switches
I have two 3Com layer 3 switches (4924) connecting to two separate networks in a building. How do I configure these switches so that the communication can be established between the two networks?
These two networks are on the first and second floor of the same building. How would the switches be connected physically? How would the connecting ports need to be configured?

- Are they on related subnets (i.e., 192.168.xxx.yyy and 192.168.xxx+1.yyy)? Then simply setting the subnet to 255.255.254.0 and using the same gateway would connect them.
- Do they both have separate ISP/Internet connections with addresses provided by the ISP? Then you could set trust relationships between the domains.
