The purpose of a default gateway on a Switch is the same as it's IP address:
management. The default gateway will be used to route the packets when you
telnet to the switch from a network other than the one it's IP is
configured. If you configure Switch's ip address as 10.0.0.1 and telnet to
it from the network 20.0.0.1, the switch must know were to send the packets
back. Although all networks may be passing through it, it only logically
knows the network you put it's IP address in. The default gateway must be in
VLAN 0.

Subject: Default gateway [7:9528]
HI , We have about 10 3500XL switches and a catalyst 6006 switch with MSFC.
There is a 4500 router for internet access .
I am confused as what should be the default gateway on the 3500XL should be
? Should it be the vlan interfaces of the MSFC ? Or the ethernet interface
of the router 4500 ?
If not then what is the purpose of having default gateway on the switch ?
Please help ? Thanks in advance
