Problem Configuring Access Mode on an Interface on a Catalyst 3500XL

I want to configure several FastEthernet interfaces on a Catalyst

3500XL switch so they will not trunk. I used the following command:

conf t int fa0/1 switchport mode access

It takes the command o.k. but when I do a sh run it does not show that the interface is in access mode. Moreover, when I connect another switch to fa0/1 with at cross-over cable, it trunks.

When I use the same command on a Catalyst 2950 switch, this is what I see when I do a sh run:

interface FastEthernet0/1 switchport mode access

Am I missing something?

Thanks in advance.
