Vlan 2 not able to ping gateway.

we are able to ping and access networks from vlan1 to vlan 2 with no issues at all.

So are you saying VLAN 2 hosts (172.17.x.x /16) cannot ping 172.16.1.1?

If so you need to make sure the devices on VLAN 2 have the the VLAN 2 IP as their default gateway, enable IP routing on the switch ("ip routing" global command) and probably add a default route of "0.0.0.0. 0.0.0.0 172.16.1.1" if it applies.

The "default gateway" config only applies to packets specific to the switch.
