Please could I ask for some opinions.......

A lot of practice lab scenarios state standard assumptions such as "do not use static or default routes on any router, etc" and "full connectivity must be attained, etc". Suppose we met this in the real lab, my question is this... if one of the switches has a vlan interface with an ip address assigned to it then I assume the pod should be able to ping it and vica-versa. If the switch is not running an IGP, is the use of "ip default-gateway" permissible or does this break the rules?

If you can't use "ip default-gateway" do you think configuring irdp on the attached router in the switch's management vlan would be a good alternative?

thx in anticipation,

Chris.
