Cisco Inter Switch Link (ISL), How ISL Works, And Advantages
A Cisco proprietary link layer protocol called Cisco Inter Switch Link (ISL) was created to preserve Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) data inside Ethernet frames while traffic moves between

Inter-Switch Link (ISL)
Another VLAN tagging protocol is Inter-Switch Link (ISL). This protocol is Cisco proprietary, which means that, unlike 802.1Q, it can be used only between Cisco switches.

Inter-Switch Link (ISL)
In the VSX solution topology, an Inter-Switch Link (ISL) is a layer 2 interface between two VSX peer switches. Each VSX switch must be configured with an ISL link connected to its peer VSX switch.
