Very Strange??? No one can solve my problem.....

[Guest]

Why I can input any number into as the defualt gateway?? Even is not in the
same subnet.... Also, it will obtained the same MAC address from the real
gateway....

I had even tried with a laptop (gateway set to 1.1.1.1) to bypass all the
switches and connected it directly to the Cisco router which is 192.168.2.254
and it still route to 192.168.2.254.

so what is the problem?? you are going from one machine to another on the
same segment so the gateway has nothing to do with it. it should fail to
try to route to something off your network segment though.

Depends on what the default route is in the next hop router. If the default
gateway is way upstream, as long as it can get there via the default router
routes, it will work.

so what is the problem?? you are going from one machine to another on the

try to route to something off your network segment though.

in

the

same subnet.... Also, it will obtained the same MAC address from the real
gateway....
