I have a network running some 20 switches, two controllers and many AP's. All the devices that should be able to connect to cisco network assistant can successfully. However there is one switch that will show in neighbours but will give the message of “unable to connect to device” when I try and add it to the topology.
As far as I can see the config is identically to all other similar switches in the network. I can telnet from a switch (management VLAN) to the switch in question. However when I try to ping or telnet from the PC running network assistant (different subnet) I am unsuccessful. However I can ping/telnet to all other cisco device from this PC.
The switch is a WS-C3560-48TS and I have included the config for firstly the switch in question and another switch of the same model and config that works correctly. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

The switch configurations look pretty straightforward and mostly correct.
I notice that the problem switch has "ip routing" global command. Why is that necessary? You are only using it as a L2 switch, yes? If you use "ip routing" and have no routing process (ospf, eigrp, etc.) running you would need to add a static default route (ip route 0.0.0.0 etc.) and not use the "ip default-gateway" command. Otherwise the switch itself (the SVI) does not know how to leave the management VLAN routing-wise since it is the only L3 interface defined.
(I might also add "ip http authentication local" on each and I'd definitely disable telnet in favor of ssh)
