Network switching and VLAN

Question

if I had 2 managed switches with vlans configured like: Switch 1: Server - Vlan 1 2 3 Desktop - Vlan 1

Switch 2: Desktop - Vlan 2 Desktop - Vlan 2 Access Point - Vlan 3

Switches are connected through 2 gigabit uplink ports would every desktop / wireless client see the server? (im not sure if you can set multiple vlans to a single port or whether I will need to buy multiple network interface cards) cheers

Answer 1

Each port of switch can be member of any number VLANs. The ports using which switches are connected should be member of all VLANs, then only all desktops can see the server.

Answer 2

If your switch has routing capability, they will be able to communicate with each other. You must enable routing on the switch to enable the communication.
