whats system 2 & 3 default gateway?

Old 08-02-2011
no gateway is configured for system 2 & system 3.

for ping to work i think it is enough if we configure default gateway to system 1
please confirm

You'll need a gateway defined on system 3 too, either a default or a specific one for the other net, since otherwise the IP stack doesn't know where to send packets destined for a different network.
