Can't ping WS-CBS3012-IBM-I

[nkillgore]

I can't ping anything on internal ports on a WS-CBS3012-IBM-I.

sample interface config:

switchport trunk native vlan 32

switchport mode trunk

switchport nonegotiate

srr-queue bandwidth share 10 10 60 20

srr-queue bandwidth shape  10  0  0  0

queue-set 2

priority-queue out

mls qos trust cos

auto qos voip trust

sh int status:

Gi0/1                        connected    trunk      a-full a-1000 1000BaseX

Gi0/2                        connected    trunk      a-full a-1000 1000BaseX

Fa0                          connected    routed     a-full  a-100 10/100BaseTX

traceroute from a different subnet

10.32.43.100 is the bladecenter management interface. Why would it be trying to go through it first?

Please help

On the IBM 3012 do you have a management IP address?
In order to ping you need an IP address on the switch.

Can you post sh run?

It does have a management address (10.32.43.120 - same vlan as everything else). I changed the native vlan on all of the ports to an unused vlan, and everything started working. I'm not sure why that worked, because the ESXi hosts were tagging frames for Vlan 32, and the native vlan was 32, so it shouldn't have made any difference.
