I’m sure from version 12.2 the “vlan” command is supported. However, if the hardware is too old (i.e does not have much memory or flash), you might not be able to install a newer IOS version.

I think you’re right.

Do you which is the earliest IOS version that would have “vlan” that will run on the 3524 switch?

There is no setting that you can use to enable the “vlan” command. It must be a problem with the IOS version you are running (too old). You can still use the “vlan database” command and the rest are the same as the “vlan” command. Basically inside the “vlan database” you create the vlan number, give it a name etc.

From global, I can do “vlan database” — which I’d rather avoid, since it’s being (or has been) deprecated. Also, my cirriculum uses vlan command from config.

Everything I’ve read suggests that I should have the vlan command. I keep thinking there’s a setting somewhere I need to set, or reset.

Thanks for your help.

From global, I can run vlan database, which is being deprecated. And, the cirriculum I am studying is based on “config vlan”

Try to run it from global mode: switch# vlan ?

Okay, thanks.

I bought an old Cisco switch 3524, which is running IOS 12.0(5)WC3b. I am trying to do CCNA labs on VLANs, but I don’t have the vlan command (in config):

Switch(config)#vlan
^
% Invalid input detected at ^ marker.

Switch(config)#v?
vmps vtp

Could this be due to a corrupted IOS, or is there a setting I haven’t learned yet that took it away? I’ve been reading a lot of articles that tell me I should have the command available.

I have erased my config, reload, and deleted vlan.dat.

Thank you again.

Hi, I just found your site. May I ask a question about switches (vlans)?
