You need a 4xxx or 7xxx with a FastEthernet or ATM interface that
understands ISL. You will need a router no matter what you do. Remember
that we route at layer 3 and switch at layer 2. IP Networks reside are at
Layer 3.
The link to the router will become an ISL trunk, carrying VLANs 200 and 204
(assuming that you use the third octet of the IP Address as a VLAN number).
