We have been using VLAN 1 forever as our device management VLAN. In trying to move off the native VLAN and into what I have been told is best practice, I am trying to setup switch IPs on the management port, on my 2960 devices it is F0.
I created a SVI for VLAN 57 on our 6509. The address is: 10.1.2.1. It is up and can ping itself.
I then gave the F0 management interface on my 2960 an IP address of 10.1.2.21. It is up and can ping itself.
However, 10.1.2.1 and 10.1.2.21 cannot ping each other.
Is there anything obvious with the F0 management port that will not allow this?
Below is the core setup and the access switch setup after.
*** Core Switch SVI ***
interface Vlan57
description Book Club
ip address 192.168.2.1 255.255.255.0
no ip redirects
end
*** Access switch access port ****
interface GigabitEthernet1/0/46
switchport access vlan 57
switchport access mode
end
*** Access switch management port ***
interface FastEthernet0
ip address 192.168.2.21 255.255.255.0
The access switch F0 port is plugged into access port G1/0/46.
The access switch is directly connected to the core via fiber trunk port.
