Hi Todd,

I don't know if the 3550 follows the same ios as the 2950, but I use a 2950
and the way you get into the vlan config is:

cat2950#vlan database
cat2950(vlan)#?
VLAN database editing buffer manipulation commands:
  abort Exit mode without applying the changes
  apply Apply current changes and bump revision number
  exit Apply changes, bump revision number, and exit mode
  no Negate a command or set its defaults
  reset Abandon current changes and reread current database
  show Show database information
  vlan Add, delete, or modify values associated with a single VLAN
  vtp Perform VTP administrative functions.

cat2950(vlan)#

To create a vlan you go into the ethernet interface, and simply assign the
interface to it, i.e. to create vlan 100,

cat2950#conf t
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
cat2950(config)#interface fa0/20
cat2950(config-if)#switchport access vlan 100
% Access VLAN does not exist. Creating vlan 100
cat2950(config-if)#exit
cat2950(config)#

Hope that helps,

Regards,
Malcolm

Subject: Basic config of the cat 3550

All,

Allrighty, I've finally got my paws on a catalyst 3550. I've accessed
the software config guide for the 3550 on the Doc CD but things just
ain't quite right!

The Doc CD instructs the user to access the vlan-config mode by typing
in the following global config command...

vlan <vlan id>

Here's what I'm getting from the switch...

cat3550(config)# vlan 100 ?
Unrecognized Command

I'm definitely missing a step. Could someone point me in the right
direction? I'm hoping that CCO has a page that walks the user through
some basic setup configs for the cat3550.

Thanks for the help!

Todd Carswell
