Vlan28 is up, line protocol is down

The VLAN interfaces have to fulfill the following general conditions to be up/up:

• VLAN exists and is in active status on the switch VLAN database.
• VLAN interface exists and is not administratively down.
• At least one L2 (access port or trunk) port exists and has a link up on this VLAN.

show spanning-tree vlan 28

If you don't have any access ports in the VLAN, and you are not trunking the VLAN across at least two trunk ports then the switch has no possible place it could forward the tagged packets to. Consequently it can shut it down.
