Then run vconfig on the Linux box and setup the VLANs. On the Catalyst 3500XL: interface FastEthernet 0/1 switchport mode trunk switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q A port in access mode cannot be placed on multiple VLANs. That's what trunk lines are for. To test it, leave off the "switchport trunk allowed vlan" command. That will allow ALL vlans to run over the trunk line by default.
