Question:

Which feature on a Cisco router permits the forwarding of traffic for which there is no specific route?

  • route source
  • next-hop
  • outgoing interface
  • gateway of last resort

Explanation: A default static route is used as a gateway of last resort to forward unknown destination traffic to a next hop/exit interface. The next-hop or exit interface is the destination to send traffic to on a network after the traffic is matched in a router. The route source is the location a route was learned from.
