Can't Ping Routable VLAN IP address on a Dell Powerconnect 6224 Switch?

Hi Everyone,
I was in the process of creating and configuring an additional VLAN in my network. I currently have VLAN routing implemented and I configured the VLAN in the same manner that I had configured the previous VLANs but for some reason I am unable to ping the routable IP address that I have assigned to the new VLAN.

I have created the VLAN in the smae way as I had previously e.g.

console(config)#vlan database
console(config-vlan)#vlan 10
console(config-vlan)#exit
console(config)#int vlan 10
console(config-if-vlan2)#name test-vlan
console(config-if-vlan2)#routing
console(config-if-vlan2)#ip address 192.168.10.254 255.255.255.0
console(config-if-vlan2)#exit

When I attempt to ping the vlans Routable IP address from my workstation or from the switch ocnsole itself I am unable to get a response.

E.g ping 192.168.10.254 fails.

When I ping the routable inferaces of my desktop and Server VLANs however I am able to get responses from both my workstation and from the Switch Interface.


If anyone could please asssit me or shed some light on this issue I would be most appreciative.

Strange problem I had too just a week ago.
You have to put at least ONE PORT in that VLAN AND that port have to be physically UP.
What I did was to connect two ports on the same switch with a short cable in the new VLAN.

do a "sh ip int br" and you will see, that the VLAN is UP but the protocol is down ;-)
