Can't Assign Static IP on Cisco switch, but DHCP works

I have several stacks of cisco 3750x switches at the school I am working at. Each stack is configured the same, just on different Vlan's.

On one of the stacks I can't assign a static IP address to anything, even though DHCP is working fine. I can pull a DHCP address. and it works, but if I statically assign that address to a laptop it won't work, I have tried multiple ports/ multiple vlans.

this is not a subnet or gateway mistake on my end.

I am attaching the running config for the stack.

I have tried multiple ports but the most recent was gi4/0/33 It's currently set to vlan 32, however I had the same problem while it was set to vlan 24.

Thanks for your expertise.

While you assign the static ip address to the workstation, will you able to ping to your gateway ip address?

do you able to see the workstation mac address on the core switch?

Did you hard-coded anything like auto-discover mac address on the core switch ?

I was not able to ping the gateway address. I did not do a search for the mac address.. nothing like that is hardcoded.

Lets troubleshoot the issue for one PC

connect your laptop to the stack switch
assign static ip address to the laptop
check the laptop mac address in both stack switch as well as on the core switch.

if you can't see the mac address on the switch, remove the port-security command on the switch port and try again

not only can't i see the mac address.. port shows not connect. (i never disconnected it) and while the local lan is showing a configured IP the same as the dhcp, when i do an ip config it gives me a 169.x.x.x. address.

I change the nic back to dhcp .. it re-identifys grabs an address and the port shows connected.

it has to be some kind of security setting right ??

It's pretty much clear that the port security blocking you if you static ip on the laptop.

If you would like to confirm , remove the macro configuration under the interface and try

I have removed the macro and no-change.

I will run the no ip arp inspection vlan 32 on the port first thing tomorrow.

thanks,

Run it in global config, not on the port.
