If a port is in Layer 2 mode (switchport command) then 'no swichport' needs
to be configured under the interface to make it a routable interface. Then
you can assign an ip address.
However you need EMI software for a 3550 to be able to route. SMI software
only allows layer 2 switching with layer 3/4 access lists for QoS.

Subject: Switch Interface question
I have a 3550 switch and I know that the ports are Layer 2 but why under any
interface (ex: fa0/2) does if you give you an option to add a IP address and
not except it based on it being Layer 2, the exact message is ( IP addresses
may not be configured on L2 links) ?? I know with a 2948 and 6500's running
native IOS, you can add an IP address to a port/interface. Is there any way
to convert the 3550 interface to Layer 3 to accept an IP address ?? Any
feedback would be appreciated, thanks !!
