Cisco 2950 Switch - Vlan issue

I have a Cisco 2950 series Switch with 2 vlans configure.

VLAN 101 & VLAN 201

1. When I make the VLAN 101 active it shuts down the VLAN 201
Example
2980SW-01(config)#int vlan 101
2950SW-01(config-if)#no shut

Feb 7 12:10:51.340: %LINK-3-UPDOWN: Interface VLAN101,changed state to up
Feb 7 12:10:52.156: %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface VLAN101,changed state to up

Feb 7 12:10:52.340: %LINK-3-UPDOWN: Interface VLAN201,changed state to down
Feb 7 12:10:53.156: %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface VLAN201,changed state to down

2. I would like for both VLANs to be active but for some reason on this 2950 switch it is not allowing that to happen.

This is because the 2950 is a layer2 switch and the VLAN interface is only used for management purposes hence only one VLAN interface is up. Create the VLAN's without the VLAN interface as it is not needed per VLAN.

So what you are saying is just go into the config mode
and do this.

2980SW-01(config)#vlan 101
2950SW-01(config-if)#no shut

Well the problem I have is that VLAN101 is set to IP 172.16.9.2 for DATA.
And VLAN201 is set to IP 10.10.9.2 for VOICE.

can I assign an IP without using an interface?

2950SW-01(config-if)#ip address 172.16.9.2 255.255.0.0
