hi,gurus

I want to connecct unmanaged swith to the managed switch through trunk port.

If i configured switchport on managed switch like below

interface fa0/1

swichport

switchport mode trunk

switchport trunk native vlan 5

what will be result?machine connnected on unmanaged switch can communicate with vlan 5 member on managed switch?

This depends entirely upon the make and model of your un-managed switch. Some newer-built switch doesn't care whether it's an access or a trunk port but older switch can be a pain.

Why would you want to make it a trunk port if its a unmanaged switch ? Just make it an access port .
