Protocol VLAN Environment. Figure 2-2 can also be applied to a protocol
VLAN environment. In this case, VLANs “W” and “X” represent routable
protocol VLANs. VLANs “Y” and “Z” can be any protocol VLAN. As noted for
the discussion of multiple port-based VLANs, VLAN 1 is not shown. Enabling
internal (IP) routing on the switch allows IP traffic to move between VLANs
on the switch. However, routable, non-IP traffic always requires an external
router.
