Hello,
will the following config on a vlan interface on a layer 3 switch , stop me being able to ping 10.15.1.1 .......it is the default gateway for a vlan?
ip address 10.15.1.1 255.255.255.0
no ip redirects
no ip unreachables
no ip proxy-arp
I dont seem to get any response to pings when pinging from one of the access switch interfaces in this vlan. I have tried extended pings.
The access switches are trunking the vlan (ie., it is allowed) in both directions on the interfaces between the access switch and core switch ?
Thankyou

Hi,
You should be able to ping it from the access switch. If the access switch is layer-2 only, make sure it has an IP on the management interface, so the ping can be sourced from that.

Further information....Thankyou for spending the time.
All SVI’s that Have already existed Historically on the core switch are all in VRFs. The management interface on the access switch is in the same VRF as the existing SVI’s on the core switch ie vrf for voice and data. Should my new interface be in the same vrf for pings to work from mgt interface? However, my newly created svi On the core should be in a separate vrf which exists for building mgt system and hence not the same vrf as mgt interface. How do I test connectivity is working from Vlan on access switch to an SVI on the core, when vrfs are in play?

Hi,
make sure that VLAN is not pruned. Also, the access switch must have an SVI IP address configured and it must be in up|up state. If it has SVI IP address on different ID(VLAN) then IP routing must be disabled and default-gateway must be added.

Hi,
If your question is about if the other 3 settings configured:
no ip redirects
no ip unreachables
no ip proxy-arp
will prevent any pings, the answer in no.
But it is unclear from where (which source IP) you try to ping.
