    Example network:

     

    1 x L3 switch

    5 x L2 switches connected to L3 switch

     

    Switches contain various VLANs with the following IP's assigned on the L3 switch:

     

    VLAN 1 (Default VLAN) = 192.168.50.0/24

    VLAN 2 (Servers) = 192.168.60.0/24

    VLAN 3 (Clients) = 192.168.70.0/24

    VLAN 4 (VoIP) = 192.168.80.0/24

     

    Which of those VLAN's/IP's would you set as the L2 switches default gateway address?

    Honestly, It all depends on which VLAN you want to manage them from - or to group them together with other network devices. It's really your choice.
