It might help if you explain the scenario. Each vlan doesn't *have* to be
its own IP subnet though it usually is because of arp issues for one thing.
If you are bridging between the two interfaces, you would probably use one
address space for both vlans, put no layer three address on the interfaces,
but put the address on the bvi interface as noted below. Remember that
bridging is layer two.
