You should fing "ip default-gateway" in the config.

you can also have a IP route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 entry if ip routing is enable.

The last possibility, (if the switch is working and no default gateway configure), is that the router is doing proxy-arp. This is a security issue but still possible.

Use the command "show ip default " , this will list the gateway on all layer 2 switches and any layer 3 switch that has routing turned off .

This is a Catalyst 2950 switch.

You should fing "ip default-gateway" in the config.

you can also have a IP route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 entry if ip routing is enable.

Hi,

2950 is a layer two switch , so IP route is not supported.

The IP default-gateway should be supported for telnet to other subnets.

Yes, that is supported.

Use the command "show ip default " , this will list the gateway on all layer 2 switches and any layer 3 switch that has routing turned off .

The command "show ip" lists the switch ip address, subnet mask, and default gateway.
