default-gateway
The default gateway is not configured.
VLAN configuration mode
You can configure up to five default gateways for the designated VLAN, and associate a metric with each one. The software uses the gateway with the lowest metric. The other gateways reside in the configuration but are not used. To use one of the other gateways, modify the configuration so that the gateway you want to use has the lowest metric. If more than one gateway has the lowest metric, the gateway that appears first in the running-config is used.
If you have already configured a default gateway globally using the
ip default-gateway command and you do not configure a gateway in the VLAN, the software uses the globally
configured gateway and gives the gateway a metric value of 1.
The
no form of the command removes the gateway configuration for a VLAN.
The following example shows how to set the default gateway for a management VLAN. Because the 10.10.10.1 gateway has a lower metric, the software uses this gateway. The other gateway remains in the configuration, but is not used. You can use the other one by changing the metrics so that the 10.20.20.1 gateway has the lower metric.
device(config)# vlan 10 device(config-vlan-10)# default-gateway 10.10.10.1 1 device(config-vlan-10)# default-gateway 10.20.20.1 2
