I have a dell PowerConnect 2824 and I have a cat 5 cable connected from port 1 to port 23. Port 1 is reserved for VLAN 1 (the only VLAN that can manage the switch) and port 18-23 belong to VLAN 112.

I currently have the switch setup with ip 10.71.3.5/27 and a test machine plugged into port 22 with IP address 10.71.3.30/27. For some reason I can not ping 10.71.3.5 from my test machine (10.71.3.30).

Note: When I try to ping the server plugged into port 21 (IP: 10.71.3.7/27) also VLAN 112, I get responses just fine.

Note: When I plug my test machine directly into port 1, I can ping 10.71.3.5 just fine.


Quick Recap:

  1. Switch IP: 10.71.3.5
  2. Port 1 - dedicated to management - (VLAN1)
  3. Port 21 - SERVER (10.71.3.7/27) - (VLAN112)
  4. Port 22 - test machine (10.71.3.30/27) - (VLAN112)
  5. Port 23 - dedicated to management (to hop over to VLAN 1 from VLAN 112) - (VLAN112)
