Access Port in the Wrong VLAN

A moved staff workstation keeps its addressing but lands in the wrong broadcast domain.

Scenario

Northgate Library moved a staff workstation to a different floor and it can no longer reach the other staff machines, even though its address, mask and gateway were never changed. Machines on the public-access network are unaffected and must stay separated. Restore staff connectivity without altering any addressing.
