6248 accessing web admin on non management VLAN

Question

Hi, I'm trying to set-up a 6248 as a Layer 2 switch however I'm having trouble trying to access it's web interface or even ping it's IP on a non management VLAN I've set-up. As you can see from my config below I've moved the switches' management VLAN to VLAN 321, I've given the switch a IP address on VLAN 1 and I've plugged my laptop into port 1 which is on the default VLAN, VLAN 1.  However I can't access the switches' web interface from my laptop, I can't even ping the switch. If I plug my laptop into port 11, a port I've configured on the management VLAN, VLAN 321 I can talk to the switch fine using it's management VLAN IP. Please help.  What am I missing? Thanks. 6 : configure7 : vlan database8 : vlan 100,200,3219 : vlan routing 1 110 : exit11 : hostname 'layer2'12 : stack13 : member 1 514 : exit15 : ip address 192.168.254.246 255.255.255.016 : ip default-gateway 192.168.254.25017 : ip address vlan 32118 : ip domain-name blah.local19 : ip name-server 192.168.1.1120 : ip name-server 192.168.1.1221 : interface vlan 122 : ip address 192.168.127.246 255.255.128.023 : exit24 : !25 : interface ethernet 1/g1126 : switchport access vlan 32127 : exit28 : !29 : interface ethernet 1/g4530 : switchport mode trunk31 : switchport trunk allowed vlan add 1,100,200,32132 : exit33 : !34 : interface ethernet 1/g4635 : switchport mode trunk36 : switchport trunk allowed vlan add 1,100,200,32137 : exit38 : !39 : interface ethernet 1/g4740 : switchport mode trunk41 : switchport trunk allowed vlan add 1,100,200,32142 : exit43 : !44 : interface ethernet 1/g4845 : switchport mode trunk46 : switchport trunk allowed vlan add 1,100,200,32147 : exit48 : exit

Okay, seems to work as I'd like it to if I leave VLAN 1 as the management VLAN on the Layer 2 switches. Any reason I wouldn't want to set-up the layer 2 switches this way?

Thanks again,

Kevin.

Hi Daniel,

Thanks for your reply.

Yep I've assigned the laptop 192.168.127.2.

I assigned 192.168.127.250 as the gateway, the layer 3 6248 I have plugged into one of the trunk ports. But it shouldn't even need the gateway as it's on the same network should it?

Yes I've tried pinging and accessing 192.168.127.246 with a web browser. I did set it manually but it doesn't show in the config, I guess because it's the default port setting?

I've also tried doing exactly the same with VLAN 100 and I have exactly the same out come. The only VLAN I seem to be able to connect to the switch on is VLAN 321, the management VLAN.

Thanks,

Kevin.

Hi, Yes everything else works on the network works fine. I can Telnet/SSH to 192.168.127.250 but not 192.168.127.246. Thanks.
