Question:
What is a disadvantage of using multilayer switches for inter-VLAN routing?
- Multilayer switches have higher latency for Layer 3 routing.
- Multilayer switches are more expensive than router-on-a-stick implementations.
- Spanning tree must be disabled in order to implement routing on a multilayer switch.
- Multilayer switches are limited to using trunk links for Layer 3 routing.
Explanation: The main disadvantage of the multilayer switches is their higher cost. Because both routing and switching are done in hardware, multilayer switches are faster than router-on-a-stick.
