  • AChange the default gateway to the second segment.
  • BConfigure VLAN interfaces on the server.

Explanation

Configure VLAN interfaces on the server: Since the network team has configured a trunk link to the server, this implies that the server needs to handle multiple VLANs. The administrator needs to configure VLAN interfaces (also known as subinterfaces) on the server to associate the different IP addresses with the correct VLANs. This setup allows the server to communicate on both network segments using its single network interface.
