duplicated ip interface error on PC 5324

Question

I have two VLans setup on my PC 5324 For some reason VLan 2 has an IP address, but VLan 1 does not I tried to set the IP address on VLAN 1, but am getting this error: duplicated ip interface on the same subnet VLan 2 has an ip address of 10.57.60.29 I logged onto the serial connection, and after I enabled and configured my connection, I typed interface vlan 1 ip address 10.57.60.10 /16 then I received the duplicated ip interface on the same subnet error I tried to ping the 60.10 address, and it did not ping I tried another new ip address with the same results. I tried to set the IP address for VLan 1 via the web interface, but received the same error. Any ideas on how to set an IP address for my vlan 1? Does VLan 2 need an IP address if I set one for VLan 1? Thanks !

VLANS ae designed to be on different IP subnets so, you can't have two VLANS with an IP residing on the same subnet.   The IP addresses are only used for you to gain remote access to the management interface of the switch.  They are not needed for them to be functional.    You will need to remove the IP address on VLAN 2 using the 'no ip address' command and then in interface vlan 1, run the 'ip address' command.
