We have recently purchased a used Cisco 2950G and using the network assistant we can see other switches plugged into it via trunk ports but am unable to see the new one from any of the other switches. Can ping from the new to the old but not from the old to the new one. We have wiped the config and setup it up again fresh with just the management vlan and its IP with no success any ideas as to what could possibly be wrong

I can ping any cisco switches on the 172.16.0.0 network put can not ping this cisco switch (172.16.125.31) from any of those switches. I can also get on the internet from this switch (through 5 others to get to the gateway) so I know the trunking is working but can not manage it unless plugged into it directly.
Thanks

it's got to be an issue with not having the ip default-gateway <gateway ip> in there. I'm not 100% clear on your network setup and whether or not you are trying to access the VLAN555 SVI from the 172.16.0.0/16 address space.

VLAN555 is the management Vlan with the IP scheme of 172.16.0.0 so no default gateway is needed. I am just wondering if there is an issue with these switches as I have two of them that do the same thing we have set up at least 20 others with no issues at all but for whatever reason these two just do not work properly.
>but am unable to see the new one from any of the other switches
Verify CDP is running.
The only issue I’ve had with my 2950G and VLANs after clearing and rebuilding the flash is that VTP is running version 1.
ip default-gateway command on a L2 device is only used for management access

cdp is layer 2 and i dont think default gateway is only used for management access interface vlan 1 is used for management by default so lets say its 1.1.1.1 so you telnet to that, where does it send the return traffic? 1.1.1.1? or the default gateway?
you can ping everything in 172.16.0.0 because you are broadcasting that and anyone that will listen will reply.

>i dont think default gateway is only used for management access
in L2 yes
in L3 no
>cdp is layer 2
indeed. this is why when you connect two switches back-to-back they know each others information. if you are unable to obtain this information from a neighboring switch you may want to verify CDP is running.

The ip address is for mgt only on the switch , if you try to telnet to it from off the subnet that your mgt is on and there is no default gateway on the 2950 then it doesn't know where to send the packets to be routed thus you cannot telnet or ping to it from off the mgt subnet, put the L3 default gateway address in and it should work as others have said.
i agree...

Simple test: add the default GW and see what happens.
The fact of the matter is this - all his switches have VLAN555 addresses on them (?confirm) so if he is telnetted to one switch, from that switch he can ping all the others, and none of that network traffic has anything to do with the default GW.
If this isn't working, then he is having unusual ARP problems.
I suspect, however, that the real problem lies in the actual testing being done.
Describe your test in detail and include relevant config.

Alright -- I must be doing something completely wrong with this Cisco config. After 30+ configs of new and used ciscos could it be that I am forgetting the basics?
My situation is slightly changed from the earlier description.
I have two new (used) cisco WS-2950G-24-EI switches running the latest firmware c2950-i6q4l2-mz.121-22.EA13.
The switches are connected through Fa0/1 on each by a crossover cable. The lights are green. The ports are set to Trunk / all, auto auto.
I have specified Vlan2 as management on each switch and assigned IPs on the same subnet to each.
I am connected to the switches using the console cable.
These switches are just not talking to each other. I am at a loss as to the cause. To simplify troubleshooting -- the ciscos should be exchanging CDP info via that pair of trunk ports. Both ciscos show outgoing CDP and no incoming traffic. There is no IP connectivity here either, one switch cannot ping the IP of the other.
These are used switches but the hardware seems to be fine. Help me see otherwise if that's the case. Have tried multiple ports, vlans and patch cables with the same results. Also disabled CDP v2 advertisements as a test.
Any thoughts?

The 172.16.1.1 is not assigned to any physical interface on this network yes, however, the ping test was directed from 172.16.180.1 to 172.16.180.2 and vice-versa.
In my 30+ switch network, I have specified no default gateway and they are sharing, pingable and etc. with no issue.
Thanks

can you post the output from sh int f0/1 switchport from both switches?? north, it's a /16 mask so the .1.1 address is in the same subnet
