Sharing Switches

[Guest_imported]

I have two buildings connected using fiber and 2 Cisco Catalyst 3524 Switches. I have connected the two switches and have the two buildings networked using a VPN.

The company connects to a Chrysler system using a separate network and a satellite hookup.

My question is: Is it possible to set up the switches so that the buildings are able to share both the Chrysler and VPN resources? In other words, can I have two distinct networks sharing one switch?

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Yes both networks could share the same switch. If you want to restrict or filter traffic from both networks create access-lists. Why do you need a VPN setup to connect 2 offices when there already connected through fiber?
