i have an Accelar 1200 chassis with 2 10/100 24 port TX cards and 1 8 port FX 10/100 card. I want to set it up as a switch and not use the routing functions. (I need to distribute 2 hard wired fiber vlans inside my building.) I have set up the management IP address and default gateway, but cannot ping the switch from a PC connected to a switch port on the 1200. The pc and the Accelar are statically configured for the same subnet and mask. Any ideas as to what else I need to configure to make this behave as a switch?
Do I need to assign IP addresses to the ports?(I wouldn't think this was necessary) Do I need to enable any routing protocols? (Switches don't need this.) Software rev level is 1.1.6
TIA...
David

How did you assign the accelar an IP address? Are you using multiple VLANS? Can the PC ping other PCs that are on the other port of the switch?
