I have a HP ProCurve 1810G-8 which I currently use as a normal switch between 3 servers and a firewall.

2 of the servers are ESXi hosts, and one is a Nexentastor box with 2 iSCSI target LUNs.

As the iSCSI traffic is on the same LAN as all other traffic, I would like to switch this to use a SAN for iSCSI traffic and the LAN for all other traffic.

The Nexentastor box only has 2 NICs, and as such, with a physical arrangement, I presume that one must be plugged into the SAN VLAN and one on the LAN VLAN ports of the switch.

Is there a way to have multiple VLANs over the same port?

e.g. the Nexentsator box has 2 NICs, both plugged into the switch, both ports with access to both of the VLANs?
