Hey Bob,

I'm glad I asked you about that. I probably would have missed your 2nd
point otherwise.

But, regrading your 2nd point, are you saying that if you need to telnet to
the switch (which sounds like something that could be required in the lab),
and routing is NOT enabled, you don't need a default gateway on the switch?

In other words, let say this is your lab topology:

rtr1 fa0/3---- switch1 --- trunk ---- switch 2 ----fa0/3 rtr2 and both
fa0/3 interfaces on rtr1 and rtr2 are in vlan C, ip addr 10.3.3.0/24.

Let's also say that for the purpose of being able to telnet to either
switch, an ip address has been assigned to vlan A on both switches.

How would this requirement be fulfilled with:

ip routing enabled?

ip routing disabled?

Thanks, Tim
