I am in the process of changing my managment VLAN from VLAN 1 to VLAN 2. I made the change on a 5500 switch with a RSM module and it is connected to our backbone switch which is also a 5500 and it works fine. The problem I am having is how do you change the management VLAN on a 2900/3500 XL? I created the new VLAN but it will not become active until I remove the IP address off the VLAN 1 interface. It then displays a status of UP Down for VLAN 1. The new VLAN 2 shows UP UP but I am not able to ping the backbone switch. The connection between the 2900 and my backbone is a ISL trunk link. The management VLAN has not been changed on the backbone switch yet, does this have to be changed first before I can change the other switches?
The documentation keeps refering to configuring cluster to make the VLAN management change but I am not using cluster.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Here´s an example of a catalyst 3548 using VLAN 2 instead of VLAN 1 as default:
version 12.0
no service pad
service timestamps debug uptime
service timestamps log uptime
no service password-encryption
!
hostname IC2_AZC
!
enable password red
!
!
ip subnet-zero
ip dhcp-server 10.194.8.60
!
!
!
interface FastEthernet0/1
switchport access vlan 2
!
interface FastEthernet0/2
switchport access vlan 2
!
interface FastEthernet0/3
switchport access vlan 2

That is not exactly what I am looking for I do not want to put all of the Ethernet ports in VLAN 2 I only want to use VLAN 2 for management traffic. I plan on using other VLANs for user traffic.

Hi,
You need to shutdown the VLAN1 interface, then put no shutdown under the VLAN2 interface. The VLAN interfaces on the 2900/3500s are Management interfaces ONLY and only one of them can be up at a time.
You're going to have to console into the switch to do this. You'll lose your telnet connection to the switch if you shut down interface VLAN1 remotely.

You need to enter the command "management" under the interface vlan 2 for the management vlan to become active. Then your ip address under vlan 2.
Remember to add the default gateway statement as a global command back to your default router (backbone).
Hope this helps!
