Cannot ping VLAN interface IP

[JackVince1719]

Hi,

This is going to be a beginner level question, however I cannot seem to find the answer anywhere.

I have the following (relevant) configuration/status:

interface FastEthernet0

switchport access vlan 10

no ip address

FastEthernet0 is up, line protocol is up

interface vlan10

ip address 10.0.0.10 255.255.255.0

vlan10 is up, line protocol is up

Very simply, my laptop (10.0.0.3 255.255.255.0) is connected directly to fastethernet0, however I cannot ping the vlan10 interface (10.0.0.10). What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,

Jack

add switchport mode access   in case switch does not converted. and are  u sure u want to use FastEthernet 0 ? it is management port on new brand of switches, which u can configure with ip address.   so, it may not be reachable to go via interface  vlan 10. 

if u want to use interface vla n10, u should use one of many fastethernet 0/x ports  

also, check Firewall on PC

what switch is this ?

I agree that we need more information to help us determine what is the issue here.

- what device are you connected to?

- does your PC indicate that it has link?

- would you post the output of arp -a (assuming that this is a windows pc or the equivalent command to display the arp table of your pc)

- on the device you are connected to would you post the output of show arp?

- on the device you are connected to would you post the output of show interface status

-  on the device you are connected to would you post the output of show vlan

Hi guys,

Thanks for your responses, I am actually using a Stratix 5900.

By following your steps, specifically the arp steps I have realised the issue. It appears that there is already an arp entry in the switch for the ip assigned to my PC assigned to the vlan which I just could not see (my next step will be to remove it). Long story short I am using secondary IPs on the vlan interfaces. I changed my PC IP and it worked (should have tried that earlier)...

Thanks for your help!
