Answer 1

I could be wrong now, I didn’t hold such a tsiska in my hands and the last time I picked it was 2960 many years ago, but in my opinion there it is necessary to hang up the address not on the interface, but on vlan. That is, for example:

Switch(config)#interface vlan 1 
Switch(config-if)#ip address 10.1.1.1 255.0.0.0 
Switch(config-if)#end

Answer 2

try to say no switchport
on the interface, but most likely this model does not know how to use L3
for the management interface, use int vlanX
