Cisco 2950 Switch: Create a VLAN
Posted by CISSP06 in Cisco switch
The commands for creating a VLAN vary from one switch model to another. VLANs in a 2950 switch are configured in a manner similar to configuring an interface. This configuration is substantially different than a 2900 switch.
To create two VLANs on a 2950 switch, one with ID 5 and the name “engineering” and the other with ID 8 and the name “mydesk,” use these commands:
2950# config t
2950(config)# vlan 5
2950(config-vlan)# name engineering
2950(config-vlan)# exit
2950(config)# vlan 8
2950(config-vlan)# name mydesk
In the 2950, the “vlan database” command is being phased out. It will still work, but a warning will be given. The commands above are the preferred way to configure VLANs now and in the future (until Cisco changes it again).

My Setup is such
Port Name Status Vlan Duplex Speed Type
Fa0/1 connection to name connected 100 full 100 10/100BaseTX
Fa0/2 connection to name connected 100 full 100 10/100BaseTX
Fa0/22 connection to loca notconnect 1 full 100 10/100BaseTX
Fa0/23 connection to loca notconnect 1 full 100 10/100BaseTX
Fa0/24 connected 100 a-half a-10 10/100BaseTX
Gi0/1 connected 100 full 100 10/100/1000BaseTX
Gi0/2 notconnect 1 auto auto 10/100/1000BaseTX
I want Gi0/2 to be part of 100 not 1
How would i go about doing that.

In order to change the which vlan the port is on execute the following command:
2950# config t
2950(config)# int Fi0/1
2950(config-if)# switchport mode access
2950(config-if)# switchport access vlan 100
2950(config-if)# exit
2950(config)#exit
