well, that is what *should* happen. the "up" interface is in a 
particular VLAN and should not be able to ping an IP in another VLAN 
- well unless you have a router/gateway/.. in the trunk port in all 
VLANs.

What you should do, is put such a router/gateway/.. in port 24, and 
assign it IP addresses in each VLAN. Then from the hosts in each VLAN 
try pinging whatever you put in port 24
