I have a 2960S switch with multiple vlans and corresponding vlan interfaces.
After removing ip default-gateway, this switch is still able to communicate with remote networks.
It picks up an ip address as its gateway from upstreaming layer3 switch in a high to low vlan order !
It runs default sdm, no routing capability at all.

Anyone has similar experience ?

Hello,
I have not seen it before. Rarp might be the reason. Check the output of this command.
show run | include rarp
no ip rarp client request

sorry, it is due to proxy-arp on upstreeaming switch
now it cannot talk to remote networks
Thanks
