“why do we configure the default gateway on switch??.we configured gateway on PC.

As L2 switch does not understand the Ip address?”

Answer : it is for management purposes and does not affect user traffic. What if you’d logon to a switch and ping or telnet from there? (this is common). The switch would not know what to do with it if it did not know a default gateway / router.

@ Niranjan. the command to check the ip on switch is, from the global configuration mode type show run. i.e. switch(cinfig)#show run
