It can just config is a bit different.
cat3550
interface FastEthernet0/1
 switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
 switchport mode trunk
!
interface Vlan2
 ip address x.x.x.x x.x.x.x
!
interface Vlan3
 ip address y.y.y.y y.y.y.y

cat2950
interface FastEthernet0/1
 switchport access vlan 2
!
interface FastEthernet0/2
 switchport access vlan 3
!
interface FastEthernet0/24
 switchport mode trunk

Hope this will help at least a bit :)

Have fun,
