Can't seem to ping switch? why? why?

[tomii]

Hi..I'm really confused and about to go mad. I have a cisco 2950 configured with an IP address 10.1.5.5 and a vlan10 also on the 10.1.5.0 network. All host on the vlan10 can ping each other but I can't ping the switch from any of the host? I can't work out why? can anyone please tell me why or what I missed?
Thank you!!!!!

How did you configure your vlans . Did you create the layer 2 vlan and then layer3 SVI. Do a show vlan (not a show interface vlan)and see if your vlan 10 shows active and your ports show in that vlan . If you can post the config and the show vlan command we can figure it out . Not much to these switches should be easy to spot.

To configure the switch do the following.

conf t
vlan 10 , hit enter
type end, hit enter

conf t
interface vlan 10
ip address 10.1.5.X <mask>
no shut
type end, hit enter


on the switchports
switchport access vlan 10

2950's are not layer 3 switch/routers

with that being said they can only have 1 active vlan interface for management purposes.. this is what you're running into..

Check the subnet mask defined on the layer 3 VLAN on the switch match that of the clients on the 10.1.5.0 network. If there is a mismatch, it may well result in the situation you describe.
