Just a quick one - in my very first Simulation, I created a very basic topology of one Router, one Switch and two Terminals. T1 was set up to be on VLAN 10 and T2 was set up to be on VLAN 20. Now these terminals will not ping each other at all unless they are given a default gaateway.
Now the Simulation after that I created another two hosts and made one of them part of VLAN 10 and the other VLAN 20. So VLAN 10 would have (T1 and T3) and VLAN 20 would have (T2 and T4).
This simulation works perfectly without having to set up a default gateway, however I don't get why the first version wouldn't work if they have been set up completely the same? I'm currently evaluating the first version and haven't got a clue why they won't work unless they are given a default gateway?
