2960 switch really funny

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
Masoud

no such command on this switch

also disabled proxy arp on upstreaming switch as well, still same

sorry, it is due to proxy-arp on upstreeaming switch

now it cannot talk to remote networks

Thanks
