1You need a router to route between VLANs.– user36472Commented May 24, 2018 at 9:12

Thank you, but isn't there any other way to create without using a router?– AnontheAnonCommented May 24, 2018 at 9:13

1You can create separate VLANs but you will not be able to give access to other VLANs without a router.– user36472Commented May 24, 2018 at 9:20

Create a management Vlan and enable inter-Vlan routing which ensures communication between different Vlan . further to control tràffic among different Vlans access-list need to configure.– Sagar UragondaCommented Dec 6, 2020 at 9:26

Routers are what route packets between networks, hence the name router. Switches will switch frames on the same network. To get traffic from one network to another network, you need a router.
A layer-3 switch is a layer-2 switch with a routing module in it, and it can route traffic between VLANs because it has a router in it. You could use layer-3 switches, rather than layer-2 switches, but your layer-2 switches cannot route traffic between networks.
