create trunk port on catalyst 3550

[summerdike]

I have a server that must be contatced by hosts that are member of different V-lans (1 and 2).
I configure a switchport as trunk port (802.1q)on the switch and program the Vlans (1 and 2) on the server's network card.

But it does not work.
How should I configure a switchport on the Cisco3550 in order to allow hosts of different Vlans contact a server?

You will need to post the cisco config to even speculate on this . Does the servers nic allow trunking to it ?? That would also need to be setup on the server also .

If it is IP traffic yhy don't you just use the routing functions of the switch and route between the VLANs? Having multiple NIC's in hosts generally leads to messy host routing, requiring static routes to be added on the host etc. With a Single NIC all you need is a default gateway.
