vlan help

[swain90]

Hi All,

I was wondering if someone would be able to help me with something...

I'm essentially trying to find a way of getting a pc to be able to communicate across 2 vlans

Hopefully the picture below should demonstrate more than me writing it down;

I'm wanting PC3 to be able to communicate with all 4 devices.

I've been looking this morning into how to add multiple vlans to a port, but on further reading it sounds like it's doable with trunking, however that doesn't help/work for an end device like a PC, only if it's connected another switch.

If anyone has any suggestions that'd be useful.

Cheers

No, we're currently testing with a Cisco 2960 switch

I don't really want to go down the route of using a second network card as its possible that there may be more than 2 subnets that PC3 needs to communicate with. I've tried the trunk method using the cisco software however I'm unable to ping either subnet devices when it's enabled which i think comes down to the trunk method being designed for network devices not just end devices like a PC, unless I'm not understanding correctly.
