A PC is to access a web server on another network. Which inter-VLAN method will provide the highest bandwidth at Layer 3 and also provide a default gateway for the PC?
- multilayer switch with routing enabled
- router on a stick
- trunked interface between the router and the switch
- multiple physical interfaces on the router, all connected to a Layer 2 switch
Explanation: A router-on-a-stick design is the same as having a trunked interface between the router and the switch. This design works, but does not scale well because all VLANs must traverse the one connection between the router and the switch. Multiple physical interfaces on the router would be faster than the router-on-a-stick design, but a router has a limited number of physical interfaces. Layer 3 switches with routing enabled have more Ethernet ports as well as the ability to route.
