2 vlans and resource sharing

[JasonNguyen]

I have a Catalyst 6509 switch.

I'm trying to setup 2 vlans (ie: vlan 100 and 200). How do I setup the switch so that my print server can service both vlans? Thanks in advance....

Jason,

The only way you can traverse a VLAN is to route. You'll have to either install a router, MSM card, or you can install two NICs in your server and make it "dual-homed".

I've considered using a "dual-homed" server. Although, I used a print server in my example, I wanted to also share my dhcp and login server using the same method as described earlier. I would have to do the same for each server that I want to share.

I'm also using a class C network. We are a school that has two distinct group; faculty and students. Using the method described above, wouldn't I need to have two dhcp servers or scopes to distribute different configurations (I would need to have two configurations because I don't think I could have two NICs on the same server with the same IP addresses). How would I configure it so that faculty would get one set of configuration and students get another set?

How would MSFC work in this situation? All I know about MSFC is that it can perform routing. I am also running Windows 2000.

You just need 1 dhcp server and 2 scopes. You do need two nic's on the server to perform the routing (1nic 192.68.0.0 & 2nd nic 210.0.0.0 example)Also add the rip protocol for routing between subnets. Make sure each client has the correct gatway. any questions post back.
