Detailed explanation-1: -When configuring a host, the gateway was not configured. How will this affect communication to and from this device? Communication will be limited to hosts in the local network. In what part of a router is the currently running configuration located?
Detailed explanation-2: -Instead, the IP packet has to be sent to the router (default gateway) and the router will forward the packet toward its destination. Therefore, if the default gateway is incorrectly configured, the host can communicate with other hosts on the same network, but not with hosts on remote networks.
Detailed explanation-3: -The default gateway is the path used to pass information when the device doesn’t know where the destination is. More directly, a default gateway is a router that connects your host to remote network segments. It’s the exit point for all the packets in your network that have destinations outside your network.
