solved it..... two different solutions: 1)  snmp-server community mark-net rw view DefaultSuper 2)  erase everything, start over, and go with all the defaults, which will prompt you for everything.  then adjust the ports accordingly.
hello all - first time posting - i have both a 3424 and 3448 that seems to have the same symptoms.  i am able to get both working the way i want, but i am unable to get either to respond to either a ping or a webpage request. here is a cut/paste of what i see: console# show ip interface Gateway IP Address Type Activity status----------------------- -------- ----------------------- IP Address I/F Type----------------------- ---------------------- ---------192.168.0.100/24 vlan 1 Static according to my research, this should allow me to go to a browser and enter 192.168.0.100 (my nic is 0.99) and access the webpage, but no website is appearing. this site suggests i should be able to ping it: console# ping 192.168.0.100 but i am not seeing a ping response either. i KNOW this should be easy, but i must be missing something very obvious.  after reading this i also tried ip http serverip https server no errors, but still no ping answer or webpage. any help or suggestion is most appreciated !
