initial configuration of a switch

Question

I have a HPE FF 5940 switch , i have configured an admin user and a management interface (M-GigabitEthernet0/0/0) and ssh connection to the switch. these are the only configuration i did .

i have connected interface 1/0/1 with a 1GB transceiver 1/0/3 with a 10GB transceiver . this is the configuration :

Interface Link Speed Duplex Type PVID Description
XGE1/0/1 UP 1G F A 1
XGE1/0/2 DOWN auto A A 1
XGE1/0/3 UP 10G(a) F(a) A 1

the problem is that the traffic doesn't flow through the switch what i mean is i tried pinging host behind the 1GB interface from the host behind the 10GB port , i also tried pinging the M-GigabitEthernet interface from the host connected in 1/0/3 without success .

what an i missing here ?

Edit: one more thing the led of the 1-GB transceiver is orange not green , plus it is not learning MACs while the 10-GB transceiver led is green and i can see that it is learning MACs.

First, the management interface is intentionally not accessible from the rest of the switch ports. Management interfaces are meant to be plugged into a separate network or VLAN, hence the "out-of-band" title on many of them. You will need to plug directly into the management port, or set up a management subnet to use that port.

As far as the traffic flow, that is a very advanced switch that is going to require more configuration. You will want to look through the manuals here:

Here is a manual for the layer two setup to get a basic config working.
