Detailed explanation-1: -The default gateway address is used to forwardpackets originating from the switch to remote networks.It provides a next-hop address for all traffic that flowsthrough the switch. Explanation:A default gateway address allows a switch toforward packets that originate on the switch to remotenetworks.
Detailed explanation-2: -The default gateway always resides in the same subnet as the end device IP. The gateway can really be any unique address within the subnet itself, but most network administrators designate the first number of the subnet as the gateway. Therefore, 192.168.
