Sirs:

I work in the programming department and have just received 20
computers for quality assurance testing for some of our software.
However, our network doesn't have enough IP addresses left(We are a
class C network).  Because of this, I want to put all of these systems
on a small subnet.  Is it possible to allow all of my test machines to
access something such as a database which is on the larger network from
my small subnet?  I do have a Cisco Catalyst 3560 and a Dell
PowerConnect 2724 at my disposal.  Would anyone have detailed
instructions or explanations about how I could set up this scenario?

Thanks,
Brett

You may setup VLAN on Cisco 3560 if you know how to. I think the easy way is adding a router so that all your computer can access the LAN.
