Server not talking to certain VLANS

Here is the enviroment config:
Brocade ICX-6450 Layer 3 Switch as the Core Switch
Dell Poweredge server with VMWare hosting Windows 2008 R2 server with Sophos AV
HP Procurve 2510G layer 2 Switches on the floor

I discovered today that if I have endpoints that need to get updates from the Sophos server that they can't if they are in VLAN 2 - 8. The end point can't ping the server and the server cannot ping the endpoint. The exception to that is if the endpoint is in VLAN 9. I am not sure if this is a network issue or a server issue.

When switching the endpoint between vlans, I'm assuming you are changing the IP address also to match the vlan ip scope. If yes, there may be an access rule allowing only traffic from vlan 9 or you may not have the appropriate routes in place.

What vlan is the Sophos server in?

The endpoints can get anywhere else except this server. I have two other servers hosted on this box that are in the same VLAN and endpoints have no problem getting to those. Hense my confusion.

Proper configuration goes a long way.

That is not stumbling on the answer though. That's the same thing the experts were telling you.

It pulled the correct settings

Apparently, the ip address you were using did not match your vlan id.
