I just created a vlan, assigned it to a port on our 6509, assigned the vlan an ip address and when i shoot the command, show int vlan 31 it says that the vlan is administratively down. I can't figure out whats going on here? i issued a no shut, to no avail.

For the VLAN interface or the SVI to come up, you should have atleast one port connected to that VLAN or you should have a trunk configured in that switch
HTH, rate if it does

Brad,
You mean to say you had disabled STP on the switch?

no, but it wasn't showing for that vlan interface

You need at least one active interface on that vlan , whether it is a user pc or just having the vlan included in a trunk in order for the layer 3 SVI come up , this due to the autostate function of the switch . Make sure the layer 2 vlan is created with the show vlan command.

I had the same problem and after checking the logs i came to know that the IP was getting duplicate and the logs were showing,
"Failed to configure IP address on Vlan123. IP
address overlaps with one of the address configured on Vlan321 in vrf default. Vlan123 has been shutdown. Please change the IP address to avoid overlap and perform a "no shutdown"."
So I deleted the IP from the other interface and issued the no shut command. This solved by problem. So checking the logs in any case can provide help in many cases.
