When to use IP Default Gateway command.
When to use IP Default Gateway command.
IP default gateway command , if I am not wrong is used in L2 switches to set up a default gateway so that Administrators can remotely connect to the switch.
OK let's say we have switch SW1 connected to R1 connected to SW2 and Administrator PC is connected to SW2 , what should be configured on SW2, R1 , SW1 for Administrator PC to connect to SW1
Thank you

So, from the Administrator PC, you can telnet to the configured DG IP address , and you will be in SW1 terminal ?
No. You are telnetting directly to devices (Targeting device management IP address as destination address).
telnet 10.10.10.10
Where 10.10.10.10 is switch management IP address
Also, telnet should not be used, SSH is preferred.
telnet 10.10.10.10
Where 10.10.10.10 is switch management IP address

OK..
so on Layer2 SW1 you need to configure :
interface Vlan1
IP address 10.10.10.10
IP Default Gateway 10.10.10.1 ( Ip address of R1 interface facing SW1)
on the PC you can Telnet or SSH to 10.10.10.10 and you will be on the Terminal window of the switch ?

ip address 10.10.10.10 255.255.255.0
!
ip default-gateway 10.10.10.1
!
line vty 0 5
no logintelnet 10.10.10.10
And you will be placed in exec mode

From device that can route (access) to device:you mean from a PC ?
PC need to be able to get to router, and traffic from router need to be able to get to PC.
Predrag, unless you know a lot about the particular devices in use here, it's a far stretched to assume a particular switch manufacturer, no? And can we please stop talking about VLANs, as a switch can be configured with a management address very well (usually) without setting up a VLAN (explicitly)?

in L2 Switch, I believe there is only a default Vlan 1
you cannot create VLans.. so the Management interface will be Interface Vlan 1..the only option

Thank you very much for your Input Guys
Default gateway on all switches are targeting L3 device SVI in the same VLAN (management VLAN).
