hii, as per my experience the l3 switch would work as L2 only unless u gave command ip routing from CLI.

no ip routing

hiii i want to knw if ip routing is enable by default on l3 switches?

It is.. at least the 4948 series has it on by default..

As they l3 switches run IOS, and ip routing is turned on by default in IOS (I think since IOS 11 or so..) its a logical assumption that its on by default.
