I quote from:
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/software/ios121/121cgcr/ip_c/ipcprt1/1cdipadr.htm
"When IP routing is disabled, the default gateway feature and the router
discovery client are enabled, and proxy ARP is disabled. When IP routing
is enabled, the default gateway feature is disabled and you can
configure proxy ARP and the router discovery servers."
"IP routing is automatically enabled in the Cisco IOS software. If you
choose to set up the router to bridge rather than route IP datagrams,
you must disable IP routing. To reenable IP routing if it has been
disabled, use the following command in global configuration mode:
ip routing"
In other words, defining a "ip default-gateway" is just a method for
locating routes when you set up your router to act as a bridge.
