      You should not be making the ports trunk ports. A trunk port is used to interconnect network appliances and carries all VLAN’s with VLAN 1 as the PVID.

      Each port should only have one VLAN assigned to it. There is only one exception to that (other than a trunk port) that comes to my mind and that’s if you can plug a computer into your VoIP phone.

      We can with ours and if 20 is VoIP and 40 is Data I would assign both to the port and make 20 the PVID since it’s the device plugged directly into the port (the PC plugs into the phone).

      Setting up a port for VoIP:

      interface GigabitEthernet3/0/5
      description Phone – CLAN & TLAN
      switchport access vlan 20
      mls qos trust device cisco-phone
      mls qos trust dscp
      spanning-tree portfast

      Setting up the same port for Data:

      interface GigabitEthernet3/0/5
      description Data
      switchport access vlan 40
      spanning-tree portfast

      Finally, setting up the port for both VLAN’s:

      interface GigabitEthernet3/0/5
      switchport access vlan 20
      switchport access vlan 40
      mls qos trust device cisco-phone
      mls qos trust dscp
      spanning-tree portfast

      The above are examples only.

      To be honest, I believe you’re in over your head here and should probably hire a professional.

      It matters not how straight the gate,
      How charged with punishments the scroll,
      I am the master of my fate;
      I am the captain of my soul.
