I think that this will be a simple one.
I am attempting to set up an Aruba/HPE 5412R ZL2 Chassis switch. I have set up several VLANs on the switch and have got routing working between them. All of the VLANs have IP addresses assigned to them.
However, the addresses that I assign the VLANs can't be reached unless the VLAN has some tagged/untagged ports and something has been plugged into one of these ports. This suggests to me that the switch is selectively disabling the IP addresses until something is connected. For at least one of the VLANs, I'd prefer that the switch didn't do this because this IP address will be the one I designate as the management IP.
Other 5400 switches that I have on the network (which weren't configured by me) have VLAN addresses which aren't assigned to anything but can still be pinged so I think there must be an enable command somewhere, I just can't find it. Can anyone make any suggestions?
Switch config is as follows (still incomplete):
