I'm preparing to add a VLAN2 to our network for some servers we will be adding. In preparation for this I was investigating what I would need to do to have our client PCs (VLAN1) communicate with these servers as many of these ports are Access Ports with VLAN1 and a Voice VLAN105. Assuming VLAN 1 is 10.123.0.0 /23 and VLAN8 is 10.122.8.0/24 I have Switch1 Port 4 configured as an Access Port VLAN1, I would assume that this port should not be able to communicate with a PC in the address range of VLAN8. So PC-A which is 10.122.0.69 connects to port 4 on switch 1 and attempts to RDP into PC-B which is 10.122.8.10. I expected my PC to try to find the system with RDP and come back with a failure to connect. I was a bit surprised to be able to connect to the PC through RDP when they should be in different VLANs. PC-B is connected to port 34 on the same switch which is configured as an Access Port for VLAN8. What am I missing here? This is a case of something working that I expected not to.
