I have given each VLAN an ipaddress. When I try to ping the IP Address of one of the VLANs I get <BR /> <BR /> Packet Transmit Error; Destination Unreachable<BR /> <BR /> If I add one of the VLANs to a port Untagged I am able to ping the address? Please can someone provide some information into this behaviour?<BR /> <BR /> Thanks<BR /> <BR /> Tom (from Tom_Evans) Wed, 08 Jan 2014 06:01:00 GMT https://community.extremenetworks.com/t5/extremeswitching-exos-switch/ping-default-gateway/m-p/43642#M10562 EtherNation_Use 2014-01-08T06:01:00Z https://community.extremenetworks.com/t5/extremeswitching-exos-switch/ping-default-gateway/m-p/43643#M10563 Create Date: May 9 2013 6:56AM<BR /> <BR /> Hi Tom<BR /> <BR /> IIRC the vlan does need to be assigned to at least one port for the vlan interface to be active. <BR /> <BR /> (from conrad_jones) Wed, 08 Jan 2014 06:02:00 GMT https://community.extremenetworks.com/t5/extremeswitching-exos-switch/ping-default-gateway/m-p/43643#M10563 EtherNation_Use 2014-01-08T06:02:00Z https://community.extremenetworks.com/t5/extremeswitching-exos-switch/ping-default-gateway/m-p/43644#M10564 Create Date: May 9 2013 7:28AM<BR /> <BR /> Thanks for your reply. <BR /> <BR /> Does the port need to be active (have a device on the end of it)?<BR /> <BR /> Thanks (from Tom_Evans) Wed, 08 Jan 2014 06:02:00 GMT https://community.extremenetworks.com/t5/extremeswitching-exos-switch/ping-default-gateway/m-p/43644#M10564 EtherNation_Use 2014-01-08T06:02:00Z https://community.extremenetworks.com/t5/extremeswitching-exos-switch/ping-default-gateway/m-p/43645#M10565 Create Date: May 9 2013 9:00AM<BR /> <BR /> no i don't think so.

To put the vlan into loopback use the following command.<BR /> <BR /> enable loopback-mode vlan XXXX (from Greg_McKillip) Wed, 08 Jan 2014 06:02:00 GMT https://community.extremenetworks.com/t5/extremeswitching-exos-switch/ping-default-gateway/m-p/43646#M10566 EtherNation_Use 2014-01-08T06:02:00Z https://community.extremenetworks.com/t5/extremeswitching-exos-switch/ping-default-gateway/m-p/43647#M10567 Create Date: May 10 2013 6:18AM<BR /> <BR /> thanks for clarifying that.
