How to keep all vlans up?
- Thread starter nfpk
- Start date
A layer 2 switch can only have one vlan up at any time. You can create multiple VLANs and have them function, but only on of the vlan interfaces will be up.
A layer 3 switch on the other hand, will have all the configured interfaces up so it can route between them.

sounds like maybe you're configuring the management VLAN. The management VLAN can only be one specific VLAN. You can change it from the default of VLAN 1, but as soon as you do this, it will state that VLAN 1 is now shutdown.
To create user VLANs, you do it in a different way. If the switch you've got is a 2900/3500 or similar. You're probably best advised to go into the VLAN database. If from enable mode you can type "vlan database", you will need to add the VLANs from there.
Search on Cisco.com for how to configure the switch that you have. The online documentation is pretty good.
