Help. Can't see the forest for the big tree in front of me...
Catalyst 2924XL with 11.2 or 12.0 code (two switches, doing the same thing). Received the switches from Cisco (demo units). Set one switch up several weeks ago, with three vlans, trunked on port 1. All was well. Last week, users complained of problems - checked and only one vlan was 'not shutdown'. Vlan show shows all vlans active, none suspended. Issuing 'no shut' command in vlan interface config mode does nothing - remains shutdown. After frustrating attempts, cleared startup-config, loaded new ios. Went into vlan database and created three vlans - applied changes. Went to configuration mode, gave vlan 1 an ip address, gave vlan 2 ip address and issued no shut command. gave vlan 3 ip address and no shut command. Went to interfaces and assigned several to different vlans (switchport access vlan x). Check running config - shows vlan 2 - x as shutdown. Ran show ip interfaces brief - shows vlan 1 active, 2 - x as administratively shutdown.
Is there an issue, bug or default command that only allows one active vlan? Ug.
