Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFThe correct answer is option 1.
Key Points
In IPv4 0.0.0.0 is used for the default route. IP address 0.0.0.0 is used by hosts when they are being booted. If the packet's destination address is unknown, and the default route is unknown, but the default route is present in the router's routing table, the packet is not discarded but forwarded to the next router.
∴ Hence the correct answer is 0.0.0.0.
