[c-nsp] VLAN between two switches over Layer 3?

[Skeeve Stevens]

Hey all,

I have a couple of switches which combine layer 2 and 3 ports.

The switches are connected to each other using a layer 3 and OSPF for
routing. all works well.

Question is, is there any way to connect a port on Switch-A which is in a
VLAN, to a port on Switch-B which is in the same numbered VLAN - using the
layer 3 link between the switches.

I know how to do it using a trunk between the switches, but in this case,
ports are extremely rare and if possible I would like to do it over the
existing layer 3 connection between the two switches.

Thanks for the help guys.
