network question

Hi,

I am setting up network with 3 linux boxes and all three in same network. Do I still need to configure gateway address?

Thank You

You only need a gateway if you want to go outside of your subnet (e.g. the internet)

You will still need to set the default gateway on the servers to be able to access each of them and the internet if connected.

I've done with this one with my linux network and yes you need it specially when connecting outside your network, this basic set up guide and instruction helped me:
