Cannot ping a 5324 powerconnect

Hai.
 
I cannot ping or telnet a dell powerconnect 5324 switch. The devices connected to the switch is working fine and are reachable. But when I try to connect to the switch for administrative purpose through WebUI or telnet, its not reachable. The switch is assigned with an ip address on the default vlan 1. I started to experience this problem since two weeks.. Please help me to figure out this problem.

Please post your config (console# show running_config) and post the output of "ipconfig" from the PC you are pinging the switch from.

Please provide me with your email, as my config details exceeds 2000 characters.
 
Best regards

I prefer not to give out my email.
 
Can you post the config in parts or put it on an ftp server somewhere? 
 
Better would be, if you can dumb down your config to the simplest one that exemplifies the problem.
 
Also, please elaborate on your issue.
- Is this a single switch issue?
- if you move the config to another switch does the issue follow the config or stay with the switch?
- have you tried to ping other ports on the switch?
- which port are you using?
- what firmware version are you using?

The same configuration is done on another switch and these two switches are interconnected via trunk ports. After this connection only, the problem arise. Before everything was working fine.

Port 10 of this switch is trunked with port 24 of the other switch with the same config. The reason why I did a same config is due to the change of switch,s physical location

enable gvrp at the global configuration level.
 
console (config)# gvrp enable.
 
Also, you said the exact config on both switches.  Do you have different IP addresses on the switches?

The second switch is having ip 10.10.1.251..  I will try with gvrp enable in global mode.
 
Thank you

Good Day,
 
I have the following configuration on two DELL PC 5324 Switches:-
 
#spanning-tree mode rstp
#vlan database
#vlan 11,100,250
 
#interface range ethernet g(1-2)
#switchport mode general
#swictport general allowed vlan add 11,100,250
 
#interface range ethernet g(5-12)
#switchport mode access
#swicthport access vlan 11
 
#interface range ethernet g(17-18)
#switchport mode access
#switchport access vlan 100
 
#interface range ethernet g(19-20)
#switchport mode access
#switchport access vlan 250
 
#interface port-channel 1
#switchport mode trunk
#swicthport trunk allowed vlan add 11,100,250
#gvrp enable
 
#interface range ethernet g(21-22)
#channel-group 1 mode auto
 
I can ping devices on the same VLAN configured on two switches as access ports. But I cannot do the same on general ports (g1 & g2 here). That means a device on switch 1 on port 5 cannot access another device on swicth 2 port 1. But on switch 2 port 5-12 its possible.. Can you please tell me any further config is required for general ports.. ONLY GENERAL PORTS PROBLEMATIC
 
Please advice ASAP
 
Kind regards
