XP Machine on 2 VLAN's

I need to perform certain monotoring on 2 VLAN's. At the minute I have 2 XP machines on each of these VLAN's doing this.



I'd like to do this with only 1 PC - I know how to do it but I'm worried about security. These 2 VLAN's need to be comnpleted isolated and there is no inter vlan communication allowed.



I would appreciate your thoughts / comments on how best to go about this in a secure manner.



Regards Michael

Of course you could use two NICs, but the better way is to setup

802.1q trunking on the switch and use a NIC that understands trunking. Many of the new NICS do. You could create an ACL on the SVI or the subinterface for the security.

Intel Pro 1000MT NICs do this quite well...
