Detailed explanation-1: -What type of route allows a router to forward packets even though its routing table contains no specific route to the destination network? Explanation: A static default route is a catch-all route for all unmatched networks.
Detailed explanation-2: -Default route which is also known as the gateway of last resort, is used in forwarding packets whose destination address does not match any route in the routing table. In IPv4 the CIDR notation for a default route is 0.0. 0.0/0 and ::/0 in IPv6.
Detailed explanation-3: -When a router receives a packet, the router checks its routing table to determine if the table lists the destination address in the header. If the table does not contain the destination address, the router forwards the packet to another router that is listed in its routing table.
