Options

  • AAdd PC A to VLAN 10 and the File Server to VLAN 11 fa VLAN segmentation
  • BAdd VLAN 13 to the trunk links on Switch A and Switch B for VLAN propagation
  • CAdd a router on a stick between Switch A and Switch B allowing for Inter-VLAN routing.
  • DAdd PC A to the same subnet as the Fie Server allowing for intra-VLAN communication.

Explanation

They are not on different subnets. Subnet 192.168.0.0 /23 has 2^9 = 512 hosts, which spans an IP range of 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.1.255. Addresses 192.168.0.10 and 192.168.1.20 are on the same range and their respective interfaces are on the same VLAN. The only problem here is that the trunk link on Switch A doesn't allow VLAN 13, so "B" is correct.
