Layer 2 switches can only have an IP address on one VLAN anyway, so you're limited to one IP Address per switch by that rule. But even then, it's not mandatory and won't affect routing in any way. (You'd use a trunk link or have a router in each VLAN on the appropriate subnet to deal with Inter-VLAN routing.)

Layer 3 is different. Because the switch does the routing too, then each VLAN should be addressed and the hosts on that VLAN have their gateway address set to that of the VLAN.

Hope this clears it up a little.

If no then you do not have to have a default gateway address but they would not be able to talk outside thier own subnet . ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14380354 Fri, 16 Sep 2005 19:26:11 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14380249 anon : in what circumstances?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14380249 Fri, 16 Sep 2005 19:12:00 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14379834 28482647 : No.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14379834 Fri, 16 Sep 2005 18:12:30 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14379487 anon : Is it necessary that you assign an IP address for each Vlan?
