Hi John,
I think there is something missed as per the following output from
CAT3550

Down-Backbone(config)#vlan 1
Down-Backbone(config-vlan)#?
VLAN configuration commands:
  are Maximumn number of All Route Explorer hops for this VLAN
(or
                zero if none specified)
  backupcrf Backup CRF mode of the VLAN
  bridge Bridging characteristics of the VLAN
  exit Apply changes, bump revision number, and exit mode
  media Media type of the VLAN
  mtu VLAN Maximum Transmission Unit
  name Ascii name of the VLAN
  no Negate a command or set its defaults
  parent ID number of the Parent VLAN of FDDI or Token Ring type
VLANs
  private-vlan Configure a private VLAN
  remote-span Configure as Remote SPAN VLAN
  ring Ring number of FDDI or Token Ring type VLANs
  said IEEE 802.10 SAID
  shutdown Shutdown VLAN switching
  state Operational state of the VLAN
  ste Maximumn number of Spanning Tree Explorer hops for this
VLAN
                (or zero if none specified)
  stp Spanning tree characteristics of the VLAN
  tb-vlan1 ID number of the first translational VLAN for this VLAN
(or
                zero if none)

Down-Backbone(config-vlan)#sh
Command is only allowed on VLAN 2..1001.
Down-Backbone(config-vlan)#

Note: shutdown command under vlan 1 database means VLAN switching (L2)
but if you put shutdown under interface vlan 1 , it is simply working
and you just will not be able to telnet to the switch by the IP of vlan
1,
That is all,
I hope I was clear

Regards

cat1(config)#vlan 1
cat1(config-vlan)#shut
Command is only allowed on VLAN 2..1001.
cat1(config-vlan)#

Hello Team,

The above is what I was illustrating.

sincerely,
