Hello
The network card will need to support trunking (802.1Q or ISL being
the most common). That means that all of the VLAN information will
also be passed along with frames to the network card of the machine.
This information will enable the NIC to know which VLAN and as such
layer 3 network the frame originated from, and to make it's
processing decision based on that information.
Without that port configured as a trunk, you are correct, the Solaris
box will only be able to be present in one VLAN at a time.
Hope this helps
