What is the problem?

3524xl series is different to catos and uses different commands

have a look here for an example

Try starting with enable mode, then typing vlan database. This will give you a new prompt. Then type vlan 900. Then type apply. When you are finished hit Ctrl-Z.

Just for clarity, the command you've stipulated is actually correct in creating a VLAN on some of the newer Cisco switches (2950, 3750 etc).

e.g.

C3750G-24T(config)#vtp domain cisco
C3750G-24T(config)#vtp mode server
C3750G-24T(config)#vlan 2
C3750G-24T(config-vlan)#name USER_VLAN
C3750G-24T(config-vlan)#exit
C3750G-24T(config)#vlan 3
C3750G-24T(config-vlan)#name SERVER_VLAN
C3750G-24T(config-vlan)#exit
C3750G-24T(config)#vlan 10
C3750G-24T(config-vlan)#name MANAGEMENT


As the previous poster said, on these older switches you need to use the vlan database command and create them in there.

At the prompt type "vlan database" , enter . Type vlan xx ,where XX is the vlan you want to create ,enter . Type exit , then do your "show vlan " command and it should show.

thanks in advance.

Can I tell whether a fiber cable is LH/LX/SX, by any phisical features, such as color or any identity?

thanks,
