What is the importance of a default route?
What will be an ideal response?
When a router receives a packet, it looks at the destination IP address to determine where to send the packet. If the router has an entry for the network that the packet is intended for, then everything is fine, and it forwards the packet. However, if there is no entry in the routing table and no default route, then the router does not keep the packet; it simply discards it. If a default route is entered, then the router forwards the packet out the interface listed in the routing table so the packet is not discarded.
