3324 Setup

I'm pretty new to using the Powerconnect switches. I just got a 3324, and when I went to setup the static IP addresss, the machine plugged into port 1 lost it's connection even though port status says it's connected and the port is up. I also can't ping the static IP and I can't connect via the web interface. I'd like to know the procedure for setting up the static IP. The documentation is sketchy at best.   Maybe I did it wrong.  Thanks

More than likely, you assigned your IP address to a specific port, not the VLAN.  The 33xx series switches are Layer-2 only, with some Layer-3 awareness.  They are not Layer-3 switches, and therefore the IP address is for management access only.

In order to properly configure the switch, you will need to do the following:   (NOTE:  You'll want to do this from the serial console)

console#  config
console(config)#  interface ethernet 1/ex  (x=port to which you currently have an IP address)
console(config-if)#  no ip address
console(config-if)#  exit

To set the IP address on the VLAN:

console(config)#  interface vlan 1
console(config-if)#  ip address
console(config-if)#  exit
console(config)#  ip default-gateway
console(config)#  exit
console#  copy running-config startup-config

That should take care of the issue.

That did the trick!

Thanks for the info.
