When IP routing takes place on a switch, a routing table is needed for the switch to forward the packet based on the destination IP address. The route entry in the routing table can either be created dynamically through routing protocols like RIP and OSPF, or be manually created by the network administrator. The route created manually is called the static or default route.
A default route is used for forwarding the packet when the switch can not find a match in the routing table for an IP packet.
