Need help configuring Multi Vlan's on a single port in Cisco to connect a static printer

Need help configuring Multi Vlan's on a single port in Cisco to connect a static printer

I have to connect a static printer (ie 10.10.1.25) using vlan 10 to a hub that has multiple devices connected that are using vlan 20 (ie 10.20.1.25). The hub is connected to switchport int gig0/12.

int gig 0/12 switchport access vlan 20

I've tried this config.....

int gig 0/12 / switchp mode trunk / switchp trunk native vlan 20 / switchp trunk allowed vlan 10

It does not work. Am I missing something? Please help!

Hello Sammy,

If the device you are connecting is truly a hub then it will not pass tagged traffic to the switch. It will simply broadcast all the traffic into the untagged vlan on the cisco switch (Native vlan). In this scenario you will never be able to get multiple VLANs to communicate through a hub.

Thanks Patrick!
