title: Cisco Switch Can't Ping Attached Device
body: <pre><code>PC1-VLAN1======Switch : Successful pings from the switch
  PC1-VLAN2======Switch : *Unsuccessful* pings from the switch
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I've got a single switch with a static IP directly connected to PC1 with a static IP, both on the same 192.168.1.0/24 network. The switch has no VLAN's on it except the default VLAN1.</p>
  
  <p>With this setup, I can successfully ping PC1 from the switch (via terminal from another PC connected to the switch using either telnet or console cable).</p>
  
  <p>If I Create a VLAN2 and assign PC1's port to VLAN2, the switch can no longer ping PC1. I would understand if another PC on a different VLAN couldn't ping PC1, but I would think that the switch could ping either.</p>
  
  <p>What am I missing?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
