Simple switch config query - pinging a vlan interface.

Really quick query here and apologies for it being such a basic one but just wanted a definitive answer.

I have a switch with multiple VLANS and each VLAN has an IP ADDRESS configured on it. Is it normal that I can only ping the VLAN IP ADDRESS when there is something active on the VLAN? For example a port tagged with the VLAN in question has a device connected to it? I've rarely configured a switch from scratch before and this is something that seems to be the case but I just wanted some confirmation as it may just be the switch I'm working on has a weird idiosyncrasy. Aruba 2930.
