Hi all,
Need to confirm Network config below
We have client where they are using layer 3 switch with no ip routing enabled.
It has default-gateway command configured.
Need to confirm that ip route command is used for layer 3 switch only and it switch is used as layer 2 only it is ok to be removed?
Thanks
Mahesh

Hi Mahesh,
Yes, if the switch is layer-2 only, you don't need the IP routing command, you just need the ip default-gateway command.

Mahesh,
Running default-gateway is OK.
Example
!
no ip routing
!
interface vlan 555
description *** Management Vlan **
ip address 10.5.5.5 255.255.255.0
no shut
!
ip default-gateway 10.5.5.254
!
So basically the ip address 10.5.5.5 is just for managing the swtch.
The switch is only carrying out layer 2 functions
