Hi TE Forums...
I want to test VLANs and multiple hosts to a specific VLAN. I currently have an XP box running VMWare server with plenty of different OSs running. I also have a lab consisting of 5 routers (2500/2610/2620) and 3 switches (2950). I want to configure multiple PCs to a VLAN and allow all the PCs to be virtual. On the XP box, I physically have two NICs on the machine. Hopefully this makes sense!
Thanks...

Set the switch port to be a trunk.
In XP, set your NIC to present multiple interfaces with a different VLAN in each. If the driver doesn't support this then you may be stuck.
Add each of these new virtual NICs into VMware Server
Its much cleaner and easier in ESX... -
