Default Route Definition: A default route is a network route used when there is no specific route in the routing table for a destination IP address.
Default Route refers to a routing configuration setting in network devices that specifies the path for forwarding network packets when no specific route matches the destination IP address. It is often denoted as 0.0.0.0/0 and serves as a catch-all route for directing traffic to a next-hop router when the destination IP address is not found in the routing table.
