Assuming that the A group and B group are isolated right now, all you
need to do is set up 1 Pc in the A group or B group that has 2 NICs..
one will be cabled to the A switch and one will be cabled to the B switch.
It will have both a 192.168.0.x and 11.11.11.x ip address assigned to it.
If each group makes it their default router, then traffic for the 'other'
group will go via the AB PC automatically.....

something like that.
