What will a router do if it does not have a default route configured and a packet needs to be forwarded to a destination network that is not listed in the routing table?
- send it back to the source
- drop it
- forward it to another router
Explanation: A router will only forward packets if it has the destination network in its routing table. If it receives a packet with a destination network that is not in the routing table, the router will drop it. A default route can be installed on a router to make the router forward packets to another router that can route the packet to its destination.
