Two connections from router to switch

Hello,
I'm trying to implement the following scenario, but don't see a solution because I always need to set a native network which causes a switching loop.
I would like to connect my Router (ER7206) to my switch via Port 1.
- on the switch the Port is configured to handle all my VLANs as tagged and the native VLAN is set to 1.
Besides this configuration I would like to connect Port 2 of the Router to a second port on the switch.
- here only one specific VLAN shall be active (for honeypot traffic)
- the physical seperation is important, because I have a probe inbetween this connection where I monitor all traffic.
- also I want to be able to physically cut the connection if needed without interuption of the other traffic.
Normally I would set the VLAN on this second connection to e.g. 100 and it would work. But here I need to set another VLAN as native, which causes problems. It seems that I create a switching loop.
Any solution for this?

Sebastian
