120 Alice has a network that consists of three Virtual LANs (VLANs) defined on all of the network's switches. VLAN 10 is the Sales VLAN, VLAN 20 is the Marketing VLAN, and VLAN 30 is the Accounting VLAN. Users are reporting that they cannot communicate with anyone outside of their own VLANs. What is the problem, and what must Alice do?The problem is a faulty VLAN configuration on one of the switches. Alice needs to re-create the VLANs and configure each VLAN for routing.One of the VLANs is configured to filter all other VLAN traffic for security purposes. Alice needs to change the filter on this VLAN.VLANs are limited to data link layer communication only. To allow communication between VLANs, Alice must add a router or a layer 3 switch to the network and configure it to route traffic between the VLANs.The VLANs are using different data link layer protocols. VLANs must use the same data link layer protocol in order to communicate.
