Re: question about switching

a default route is only required if the destination address is outside
the network range of the address assigned locally. As I am assuming
you are using a 24bit subnet mask (any mask up to 30 bit would be the
same result, with your addresses)... When 192.168.1.1 tries to ping
192.168.1.2, it realizes that 1.2 is on the same network. A router
(default gateway) would only be necessary if the destination is
outside the network.

Also, VLAN 10 isn't assigned specifically to a port, by default it
(along with all other vlans) is allowed on the trunk link, and traffic
for vlan 10 destined for an unknown unicast will go out that trunk
port, and to the other switch. Think of the SVI as a host connected
to that VLAN, but on the inside.

Hope that clears some stuff up for you.
