Trouble Setting Up Telnet on 2950C (Can't ping the IP address!)

Justin-

Hey everyone,

I am trying to setup an IP address on the Vlan 1 interface on my 2950c switch so I can telnet into it remotely but I am having troubles doing so.

I've followed the following steps:


switch#conf t
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
switch(config)#line vty 0 4
switch(config-line)#password 123
switch(config-line)#login
switch(config-line)#inter
switch(config-line)#interface Vlan1
switch(config-if)#ip address 192.168.0.234 255.255.255.0
switch(config-if)#exit
switch(config)#ip defaul
switch(config)#ip default-gateway 192.168.0.1
switch(config)#end
switch#
01:03:08: %SYS-5-CONFIG_I: Configured from console by console
switch#
switch#copy run start
Destination filename [startup-config]?
Building configuration...
[OK]
switch#exit


I then tried to ping it and got this:


Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 192.168.0.234, timeout is 2 seconds:
.....
Success rate is 0 percent (0/5)


Type escape sequence to abort.


I got my 2950c connected to my laptop via serial to USB and using Putty. Can someone please help me out? I've looked around and I still can't find out what I'm doing wrong. My default gateway on my laptop is also set to 192.168.0.1, so I don't see why it's not pinging the IP address that I just set to Vlan 1 interface.

Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks.

So your laptop is connected via console? If so it needs to be connected via ethernet to ping it.
