Default Route Question??

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.

Here's some light reading on the subject. Default route - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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"

The default route is that girl still there when the bar is closing that you wouldn't have chosen if you had better options.
