Why can't I ping the VLAN (Accelar 1200)?

I created a VLAN 60 and added 2 ports, 1 untagged and 1 tagged. I gave it an IP of 10.0.60.1/24 but can't ping it from anywhere?? Is there something I need to enable, some routing statement? Not only that, traffic won't go through it at all...I'm using the device manager. I even gave the default VLAN 1 an IP and can't ping that either...although traffic flows through it fine.

thanks...

Hi

Is tagged port member of other VLAN s also?
and from where you are not able to ping ...same subnet or diffrent subnet?

Yeah,both ports are members. I'm trying to ping from a port on a Baystack 450-24T. I've tried pinging from a port on the baystack that's on the default VLAN, and one on VLAN 60 with a PVID of 60 and the fiber port 25 is tagged. The fiber port goes directly into the Accelar.

Thanks!

HI

You will have to put the default gateway of the machine as the IP address of the VLAN.
Hope this will help.

Perfect! I can ping it now...but now I can't ping through to the router. Do I have to put in a static-route statement of something? Here's my config:

Client Machine IP: 10.0.60.x/24
-->
Closet Switch: 10.0.60.10, gw=10.0.60.1/255.255.255.0, all ports in VLAN 60 with PVID 60
-->
Accelar 1200 fiber port 1/1, member of VLAN 60, ip=10.0.60.1
***********
now here's where the data needs to flow out of the switch to my Cisco 2620 router:

Accelar port 3/2 goes out to the router with IP 10.0.0.1. 3/2 is also in VLAN 60 and is tagged. I can't ping 10.0.0.1!!

Any ideas?
Thanks in advance...

is the subnet 10.0.60.x using a 255.255.0.0 subnet mask? is 10.0.0.1 the gateway?

You say the port 3/2 is tagged, is tagging on in the router? Both ends would need to be tagged

I tried to remain child-like, all I acheived was childish.
 
Yeah, we're using 255.255.0.0 as the mask. 10.0.0.1 is the router/gateway to the internet. I would guess that the router is NOT tagged...I also just found out I need to create the sub-interface (VLAN 60) on the router, and then turn on tagging? Any idea as to the command to turn on tagging on the interface on the Cisco 2620? (i know it's the wrong forum)

The idea (read "dream") is for my Cisco 2620 router to hand out IP addresses in the 10.0.60.x range when it receives a request from that VLAN. Same for all the other floors in the building...
