That is really old code and probably doesn't support global config. You will have to go into the vlan database to configure your vlans.

At the enable prompt type "vlan database" and you go into vlan config mode , think the syntax is just "vlan XX state active " and this will create the vlan . It should up with the "show vlan " command after this . Easier would be to upgrade that ancient code to 12.1.22ea10 and that will support global config for the vlans.

hey thanks for the info tring to copy flash to tftp but i replies error opnening flash no such file any help i have copied flashes before no 1900 switches before is there a diff way on a 2950.

thanks

What are you trying to do ? If you are trying to save the current image it would be copy flash: tftp: then hit the enter key and should prompt you through . The 2950 only has enough flash to have 1 image in at a time so you will have to delete the old image before trying to install the new , make sure not to interupt power while downloading new image into flash.

i am tring to copy the flash to tftp server just in case i need it, and i am writing the name of the old flash but it says no such file. then i want to copy the new flash. still cant seam to get it.
