[EleanorWyatt]

HI 

Anyone can help about the HPE MSR3012 unable ping reachable the interface after port interface configure to vlan-interface IP in layer 2 and configure the port-interface bind to the vlan and configure access vlan.

I unable ping the HP vlan interface IP from connected device, also i u ping connected device interface IP under same subnet range. Please help

MSR 3012 Router configurarion

interface Vlan-interface20
ip address 192.168.210.5 255.255.255.0

interface GigabitEthernet0/1
port link-mode bridge
port access vlan 20

Hi @EleanorWyatt 

Can you please check display IP inter bri , see wheater VLAN interface shows up or not . Also perform self ping ie. on swithch ping 192.168.210.5

Verify the connected  device configuration , if its PC or any VM machine means please check the IP, Gateway configuration as well.

Hi @EleanorWyatt !

There is no need to check or verify anything, fixed ports of the MSR3xxx series routers do not support bridge mode. Please, check the logbuffer of your router for the following message:

... DRVMSG/5/DRVMSG: This interface can be used only for the EVI feature when it is operating in bridge mode.

It should appear in the log just after you entered "port link-mode bridge" command. 

Layer 2 forwarding (yes, using SVI for VLANs is still L2 first, then L3) can be used on the following ports:

• Layer 2 Ethernet ports on Ethernet switching modules.
• Fixed Layer 2 Ethernet ports on the following routers:
{MSR1002-4/1003-8S.
{MSR2004-24/2004-48.
{MSR954 (JH296A/JH297A/JH298A/JH299A/JH373A).
{MSR958 (JH300A/JH301A).

Since MSR3012 is not among that listed models in Point #1, restriction Layer 2 Ethernet ports on Ethernet switching modules. applies. And since GigabitEthernet0/1 is fixed port, it can't work in bridged mode.

Hope this helps!
