Multilayer switches have higher latency for Layer 3 routing.

|
|
Multilayer switches are limited to using trunk links 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.

Detailed explanation-1: -What is a disadvantage of using multilayer switches for inter-VLAN routing? Multilayer switches have higher latency for Layer 3 routing. Spanning tree must be disabled in order to implement routing on a multilayer switch.
Detailed explanation-2: -Multilayer Switch Inter-VLAN Routing is a method of inter-VLAN routing in which a different kind of switch known as a multilayer switch is used to perform routing functions.
Detailed explanation-3: -It is more complex to set up compared to other networks. Traffic between VLANs goes into the router and out of the router through the same port. The trunk is a major source of congestion.
Detailed explanation-4: -They are much faster than router-on-a-stick because everything is hardware switched and routed. There is no need for external links from the switch to the router for routing. More items •29-Jul-2020
