OK for Default Gateway to be in Different Subnet?
I'm helping some folks with their network and I want to make minimal changes to it. Their IP address scheme is inconsistent because several successive people have made changes. A manageable switch has it's default gateway set to the inside interface of their router in a different subnet.
I know that the "proper" way to handle this situation is to assign the router interface a secondary address in the switch's network and point the switch's default route to it. But I wonder if there is any reason that things won't work just fine as they are.
