AFAIK, "switchport access vlan" is only applicable when the port is an 
access port.  i.e. "switchport mode access".  You want "switchport mode 
trunk".  If you like, you can "switchport trunk native vlan 309" to make 
309 (and not 1) the native vlan for the port.  Traffic for the native vlan 
won't be tagged, so both ends need to expect that behavior if you set a 
non-default native vlan.
