Hello, I want to know how I can capture traffic between two VLANs from my PC. Does Wireshark have this feature? For example, I have VLAN 80 for the supplies PC sent to print on the printer on VLAN 60. Can I capture the traffic on my PC using Wireshark in my PC between these two VLANs, and I'm on VLAN 30?

Wireshark as a tool can probably capture what you need, but it would have to be in the right location to capture as you describe. You might need hardware (i.e. network tap), or likely at a minimum configuration on managed network infrastructure to enable something like this (mirror or span port). Assuming you have managed infrastructure, of course.

There is capture information for this type of case: https://wiki.wireshark.org/capturesetup/Ethernet

So to answer the question more directly, you probably cannot get what you want as described without additional hardware and/or configuration.
