Rev. 9.41 Module 2 – 61
Routing traffic between VLANs
Network traffic must often be exchanged between VLANs.
In this example, the company has designed its network so that the network
administrators are in VLAN 1, employees are in VLAN 10, visitors are in VLAN 20,
and data center servers are in VLAN 30. Network administrators and employees can
access the servers in VLAN 30, but not visitors.
Exchanging data between VLANs is a Network Layer function and requires a Layer 3
switch or a router.
The next module explains how a Layer 3 switch routes traffic between VLANs and
how it handles VLAN tagging for this traffic.
