IP Route and IP Default Gateway configured on same switch

    Hi,

    Is it an issue to have an IP route and IP DGW setup on the same switch?

    I have layer 3 routing setup with RIP enabled.   Will there be a conflict, and do in need to remove the DGW?

    Ip default-gateway 10.0.0.1
    ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.0.0.1
    ip routing
    snmp-server community "public" unrestricted
    oobm
    ip address dhcp-bootp
    exit
    router rip
    redistribute connected
    enable
    exit

    As far as I know, the ip default-gateway is used in non-ip routing mode; the ip route 0.0.0.0/0 is used in routing mode.

    With routing mode enabled, I think you can remove the ip default-gateway as it is not used. It won't hurt either, but may be confusing when someone reads the config, so probably better to take it out.
