Traffic between multiple VLANs on a multilayer switch is routed using layer 3 routing protocols. Layer 3 routing protocols such as OSPF, EIGRP, and IS-IS are used to determine the paths of data packets between different VLANs. The network administrator can configure route maps with specific rules about what traffic is allowed between the different VLANs, as well as specify different metrics for different networks. By configuring the routes and rules, the multilayer switch can ensure that traffic is routed in the correct direction and that traffic is only sent between appropriate VLANs.
