Since you’re on a L2 network I assume there is a router somewhere (actually on both networks or two routers– one on each network) that will need to know how to send traffic from the two IP networks.

Try setting your IP address to one on the mgmt vlan without chaning where you are plugged in– does this allow you to access the mgmt IP?

Does the management VLAN know a route to the subnet where your NIC is? Can you ping from the switch to your nic? Can you ping any other devices on the same subnet?
