Gateway Of Last Resort — Cisco CCNA (200-301) Practice Questions

The gateway of last resort is the next-hop router that a device uses when no more-specific route exists in its routing table, effectively pointing to the configured default route. In the CCNA 200-301 exam, the gateway of last resort appears in the output of show ip route and candidates must be able to identify whether it is set and which route installed it. Understanding this concept helps troubleshoot connectivity failures where packets destined for unknown networks are silently dropped because no default route is present. Recognizing and interpreting this field in the routing table is a common exam question type.
