Dell PowerConnect 5324 setup problem
I have a Dell Powerconnect 5324 that I am trying to setup. I used Putty and a null modem serial cable. Set the baud to 9600 and all that stuff. Once I got into the setup I assigned it an ip address. The switch works as in I can hook it up and get internet and network access through it. However I cannot ping it or log into it via it's static IP. does anyone have any ideas on what I've got setup wrong here?
Thanks

I have tried setting it up as you had said with those commands, when I type in show ip interface vlan 1 it tells me my gate ip address and my ip address but it shows the activity status as inactive. I am able to use the switch in the network but I cannot ping the switch from any of the computers or access it on my web browser via the ip address.

it may just be the need for an
ip default-gateway setting.
This is the statement that directs the host to receive and send reponses to on a routed network.
==============================================
on our 6224 switches the config looks like this for the default vlan, which is typically vlan 1.
...
ip address 10.127.1.190 255.255.255.0
ip default-gateway 10.127.1.1
....
==============================================
If we need to have the switch on a specific vlan
vlan database
vlan 2
interface vlan 2
name "Management"
exit
ip address 10.122.1.202 255.255.255.0
ip default-gateway 10.122.1.1
ip address vlan 2
