Default gateway
A Default Gateway is a node (router) in a computer
network. A Default Gateway server as an IP A router that a network computer used to send data to a computer in another
network or Internet. The Internet wouldn’t be any use to us without a gateway.
Default gateway often connects your
local network to the internet, although internal gateways for communication
within a local network also serve a useful
purpose in corporate networks.
Why We Used Default Gateway?
The source device and destination
device are either on the same subnet or they're on different subnets.
For Example
So now our source and destination
address and subnet masks are:
192.168.69.22
255.255.255.0
192.168.53.17 255.255.255.0
we are still using /24 subnet
masks, we know these two devices are in different subnets since the third octet
for each is different.
Network Administrators configure
the computer routing Capability with an IP range starting address as the
default gateway and points all clients to that IP address.
