Protocol VLAN Environment. Figure 1-2 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

on the switch. However, routable, non-IP traffic always requires an external
router.
