how to show the default gateway

[ippolito]

I configured an AP to use dhcp, now I want to use the CLI to show which default gateway it picked up.  "Show ip route" doesn't seem to be in its vocabulary.  Does anyone know the correct statement?  Also - for the AP to use dhcp to pick up the default gateway, is the absense of an explicit "ip default-gateway" statement all that is required?

Thanks,

Mike

Mike,

What are you using for a dhcp server? You have to specify the default gateway on the dhcp scope. You can also run a debug dhcp and see what default gateway the ap obtains from the dhcp scope setting.

Thanks for the reply, the dhcp server is correctly handing out a default gateway, as I can ping devices on other subnets.  What I'm really after is:  what is the command to show the ip address of the default gateway that the dhcp server is handing out.  I.e., what is the equivalent of "ipconfig" on windows, "route" on linux, or "show ip route" on virtually other cisco devices?  I find it hard to believe you'd have to do a debug to see it.

Thanks,

Mike

Seems like this is a lightweight AP.  You can verify this using...

show run | inc default-gateway

Well if it's lightweight, then try to telnet, ssh or console and issue a debug ap command "show ip route". Or you can do a debug capwap console cli which then will allow you to do some ios commands.

To see AP ip info:-

capwap_1131#show dhcp lease

Temp IP addr: 10.0.0.12  for peer on Interface: FastEthernet0

Temp  sub net mask: 255.255.255.0

   DHCP Lease server: 10.0.0.1, state: 3 Bound

   DHCP transaction id: 157A

   Lease: 86400 secs,  Renewal: 43200 secs,  Rebind: 75600 secs

Temp default-gateway addr: 10.0.0.254

   Next timer fires after: 05:46:14

   Retry count: 0   Client-ID: 001c.58dc.xxxx

   Client-ID hex dump: 001C58DCxxxx

   Hostname: capwap_1131

Statically configure AP's default gateway ip on capwap AP:-

capwap_1131#debug capwap console cli

capwap_1131#capwap ap ip default-gateway
