As others already said, you can have more than one trunk port. But please keep in mind that traffic on a trunk port will always be tagged in some way, either using 802.1q or ISL. Not many end stations understand any kind of tagging. If you want one station on one VLAN to access another station on another VLAN, you're supposed to set up a router between the two networks, even if they are carried by the same switchport in some parts of the network infrastructure. Regarding the wireless setup, I would suggest against it, since the wireless medium is impossible to secure on a physical layer, making the entire VLAN setup useless. For secure wireless I suggest IPSec from wireless station to a router, connected to several VLANs, assigning addresses to IPSec links by appropriate criteria. //Peter
