Vlan interface not forwarding traffic

I have a few switches which cannot communicate over vlan 110(management vlan) the configuration is exactly the same as other switches which work fine.

interface vlan 110 is not shutdown

If I run show spanning-tree detail all other vlans are forwarding but 110 is not. The interface is up. Any ideas as to how to make it forward?

Thanks
 
Here is the setup

interface Vlan110
ip address 10.10.2.60 255.255.255.0

ip http server

Skips right over vlan 110

 
Post a "show vlan".

I'm thinking that maybe you don't have any ports up that are assigned to that vlan.
 
Do a show vlan . Does it show up as active ? If not then your vlan was never created at layer 2 . conf t , vlan XXX, enter . You are looking at the layer 3 virtual interface when you do a show interface vlan 110 . If these are really old switches then you will have to go into the vlan database to create them . At the prompt type vlan database , enter . type vlan 110 .
 
Also a second thought , seeing you have multiple vlans on these switches i assume you are trunking down to them , if so make sure the vlan is being allowed on the trunk .
 
Thanks,

I just needed to type vlan 110
This was for a cisco 2950 c

I am having the same problem now on the catalyste 5505 but it is a little different. How do I set the virtual vlan interface on the 5505?

I see this command in the config. I need the vlan 110 interface to have this ip address, this is only for management.
set interface sc0 1 10.10.2.5 255.255.255.0 10.10.2.255

This is how I have it set on the 2950's
interface vlan 110
ip address 10.10.2.60 255.255.255.0
ip default-gateway 10.10.2.7

any ideas on where to start?
Thanks
 
A 2950 is not a layer3 switch, so don't type in interface vlan xxx unless it's your management vlan.
 
On the 5505 type the following set interface sc0 110 10.10.2.5 255.255.255.0 10.10.2.255 . Also make sure your default gateway is correct .
 
Just a word of caution on the 5505 , if you set the int sc0
to vlan 110 and your uplink is not trunked with vlan 110 coming down you can isolate the switch . Your uplink either needs to be set to vlan 110 or trunked with the trunk allowing vlan 110 .
