IP uses the default gateway address when it cannot find the destination host on the locat subnet. This is usually the router interface.
In TCP/IP, the intermediate network device on the local network that has knowledge of the network IDs of the other networks in the Internet, so it can forward the packets to other gateways until they are delivered to the one connected to the specified destination.
A default gateway refers to a device which converts data and files between two systems that use different OS/platforms or communications protocols so that the data or files can be used on either system. This is achieved when each system recognizes the other system's all seven layers of data communications model (standardized by ISO); this way differences in platforms and communications methods are detected and converted as required, enabling mutual recognition of the data or files. When connecting to the Internet, the first gateway recognized by a client PC on the network is usually regarded as the "default gateway". Or the user may designate a specific gateway as the default gateway. The user need not worry about the default gateway as long as the connection to the Internet is established via a public line using an ISP.
The IP address of a gateway (usually a router) on the network.
A default gateway is a "last resort" router. That is, the router a machine sends traffic to if it has no better idea of where the traffic should go. Connections to the internet are usually default gateways.
In order to send data or video between networks, the IP Address of the Router is required. This address is known as the Default Gateway.
The router on your Internet Service Provider's network that directly connects to your PC. This router serves to direct your traffic to the Internet.
a connection between two networks that identifies where information should be sent when it is destined for a computer that is not on the current network
a location on a network that data is sent to when that data is addressed
a router that is supposed to be used for all traffic that has no specific route
IP Address of Router on given subnet.
The gateway in a network that will be used to access another network if a gateway is not specified for use.
The gateway used to connect to the rest of the network.
The default network that the Configuration PC will operate on. The gateway routes the traffic to/from the outside network.
A device that forwards Internet traffic from your local area network.
The IP Address of the Router, needed to send information or video from one network to another.
The routing device used to forward all traffic that is not addressed to a station within the local subnet.
The IP address configured on the router that is used as the interface for the BBSM Hotspot network to the Internet. This IP address is routable.
When setting up the PC to operate with a Pipeline, the gateway setting (in the Network settings) must be set to the IP address of the Pipeline. Using the IP address of the Pipeline as the gateway, lets your computer know that you will use the Pipeline to access remote networks.
This is the name used to describe any device that passes data between your home network and the internet. In most cases the device doing this is your router. The router is your home's "Gateway" to the internet.
The router that all packets are sent to when the sending device does not have the address of the destination device. The default gateway then forwards the incoming packets to other appropriate networks and becomes the static route to the other networks. Cisco AS5300 network access servers can be configured to be default gateways. See also Backhaul Router.
The address that the IP uses if the destination address is not on the local subnet.
When individual machines on a network segment send data packets, they check the packet's destination to figure out whether the destination is local (meaning, on the same network segment) or not. If the packet's destination is not local, the machine forwards it to a node on the network serving as the entrance to all other networks. This node is called the default gateway, and could be any routing device, such as a router or a firewall appliance.
A configuration item for the TCP/IP protocol that is the IP address of a directly reachable IP router. Configuring a default gateway creates a default route in the IP routing table.
The default gateway, which is also known as the "default route", or "route of last resort", is an IP networking configuration parameter. Clients behind the firewall should set their default gateway to either the inside IP address of the firewall or to a router whose default gateway points to the inside IP address of the firewall.
A default gateway is a node (a router) on a computer network that serves as an access point to another network.
