There is such scheme:
FreeBSD --> SRW224G4 --> SRW224G4 --> Cisco 2950-12 --> end user equipment at Fa0/2 of the 2950.
I have BSD router with configured vlan40 interface:
bash-3.00# ifconfig vlan40 vlan40: flags=8843 mtu 1500 inet 10.25.0.1 netmask 0xffffffc0 broadcast 10.25.0.63 ether 00:07:e9:0a:6e:83 media: Ethernet autoselect (1000baseTX ) status: active vlan: 40 parent interface: em1 bash-3.00#
The em1 card of the BSD is connected into trunk port g3 of the first LinkSys SRW224G4 switch as described at scheme. And then this trunk forwarding via another trunk port to second SRW224G4 and then to Cisco
2950 switch ( Fa0/1 is a trunk port also).vlan40 is described in VLAN DB of all three switches. The problem looks strange. I can't see MAC ( can't ping) of the user equipment at Fa0/2 of the 2950 switch. But I can see equipment when I connect it directly to trunk port of the second LinkSys switch without using of Cisco switch. So I suspect that problem is in Cisco switch configuration or IOS.
Here are examples of my configs from all three switches: krrt-24# sh vlan
