2924XL interface vlan - shutdown (can't open it)

[ase2dais]

Hey Gang!
got this 2924 w/ 5 vlans, I've assigned a ip of each vlan,
I can't telnet to the remaining 4 vlans. and it can't accept the "no shutdown" command for vlan 4-5. Vlan is up
and able to telnet to it.
and here's my sample of my config.

any help is appreciated.

<start>

!
interface VLAN6
ip address 131.107.6.50 255.255.255.0
no ip directed-broadcast
no ip route-cache
shutdown
interface VLAN3
ip address 131.107.3.50 255.255.255.0
no ip directed-broadcast
no ip route-cache
shutdown
!
interface VLAN4
ip address 131.107.4.50 255.255.255.0
no ip directed-broadcast
no ip route-cache
shutdown
!
interface VLAN5
ip directed-broadcast
no ip route-cache

<end>

thks again

I don't see any interfaces with assigned to the vlans. The VLAN will be down if there isn't an interface bound to it.

 

[ase2dais]

okay baddos!

I give up, what exactly do you mean, &quot;no interfaces&quot;,
I have done this for each vlan

<start>

cat>
cat>en
cat#cont t
cat(conf)#int vlan2
cat(conf-int)#ip address blah.blah.blah blah
cat(conf-int)#no shutdown

<end>

so where am i going wrong

 

[baddos]

What I mean is this:

interface FastEthernet0/1
description VLAN2 Member
switchport access vlan 2

Interface FastEthernet0/1 is bound to vlan2.

interface Vlan2
description 2nd VLAN
ip address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 255.255.255.0

Why are your vlan interfaces administratively shut down? Enble the interfaces with the 'no shutdown' command.

Also, is your routero properly configured. You need ios software that supports vlans so you need ip plus on your router to route between the different vlans. I also assume you have ports assigned to the various vlans.

oooPSS, i don't know what I was thinking. Only one vlan interface can be active at a time....so I can't really help. You haven't mentioned the router or the ios version on the router. I still suspect that could be the problem.

kmg, it is correct, that only one vlan can be up, as per other forum member, and for boddos, my config correct it has switchport assignment the way it sits.

Thks for your comments thought!

The interfaces VLAN x are only used to *manage* the switch from a particular VLAN. And only one such management interface can be enabled (no shutdown).

What are you trying to do? This is a layer 2 switch. No routing.

Cheers *Rob

 

[baddos]

Yes ase2dais, krr is right about the shutdown. You will do to do this:

interface VLAN2
no shutdown
!
interface VLAN3
no shutdown
!
interface VLAN4
no shutdown
!
interface VLAN5
no shutdown
!
interface VLAN6
no shutdown

Also, you don't need an IP address on every VLAN. VLAN1 is the only one you need it for. You would only need an IP for every VLAN if this switch was layer3 capable or you wanted to manage the switch from one of the vlans without an external router/layer3 switch involved.

reply>> what you said makes sense,and DUH! what am i thinking of, I gues I was trying to emulate your office
layer 3 switch. MAKE SENSE BADDOS!!!!

one addition all thing for a layer three switch, I guess the CLI is &quot;session 15&quot;, if I am correct?

 

[baddos]

Yes... You mean enable 15 right.
