I've been trying to ping my me3400 from my computer and my computer from my me3400 but it wont work. I googled the problem and saw posts saying that I need to have the interface in a community vlan as the me3400s are designed for use in metropolitan areas so the interfaces don't switch locally by default. However, when I change the Vlan to community it still does not work. As seen below.

However, when I change fa0/1 port-type to NNI, it works.

I'm not sure why I can't ping the device when the interface is a UNI when UNIs are meant to be able to connect to a host.
My config is below, this is on a completely blank switch apart from the necessary commands to connect to the computer.
Switch#sh run
