telnet/ping

[shurtzm]

I just setup a 3550 and am trying to be able to telnet into it. I read the online documentation and setup the vlan1 with an ip address and default gateway. Now, I can't ping it or telnet into it. Is this the correct place to assign the ip address that I can telnet into?

is the VLAN interface up/up? From which device are you trying to ping/telnet from? If it's a PC on the same switch, is it in VLAN 1 as well?

Basically from scratch, you can do:

Would you like to enter the initial configuration dialog? [yes/no]: no

Switch>enable

Switch#conf t

Switch(config)#int vlan 1

Switch(config-if)#ip add 10.0.0.1 255.0.0.0

Switch(config-if)#no shut

Switch(config-if)#end

Switch#

Switch#show ip int brief

Interface IP-Address OK? Method Status Protocol

Vlan1 192.168.1.1 YES manual up up

*check for the status of VLAN 1, then start the ping test.

HTH.
