Detailed explanation-1: -The multilayer switch performs functions up to almost application Layer (layer 7). For instance, it can do the context based access control, which is a feature of layer 7. Unlike the traditional switches, multilayer switches also can bear the functions of routers at incredibly fast speeds.
Detailed explanation-2: -A MultiLayer Switch (MLS) is a switch that performs all of the traditional functions at Layer 2, while also functioning at a Layer 3 device and sometimes Layer 4. The MLS will implement Quality of Service (QOS).
Detailed explanation-3: -A Layer 2 switch works with MAC addresses only and does not care about IP address or any items of higher layers. Layer 3 switch, or multilayer switch, can do all the job of a layer 2 switch and additional static routing and dynamic routing as well.
