You will need to convert the link from routed to switchport. That is, 
transform this:

interface Gi1/1
   ip address a.b.c.d

...to:

interface Gi1/1
   switchport
   switchport mode trunk
   switchport trunk native vlan 4000
   switchport trunk allowed vlan yourvlan,4000

int Vlan4000
   ip address a.b.c.d
