Default Route Question??

in CCNA & CCENT
Finishing up the statics route Chapter in CCNA 2.
MY only question is when do you use the default route?
I'm too tired to make a Simulation with all default routes. Thanks!

You use a default route to tell your router where to send traffic that's not otherwise routed by a static or learned route.

From what I've read a default route is most commonly used on your router that is connecting to the ISP. -

default route = the route of last resort, aka "if all else fails, send packets here" -
