No packet can be forwarded without a route. Whether the packet is originating in a host or being forwarded by an intermediary device, the device must have a route to identify where to forward the packet.

What are true statements about routes and their use?
--> If the destination network is directly connected, the router forwards the packet to the destination host. --> If no route exists for the destination network and a default route is present, the packet is forwarded to the next-hop router. --> If the originating host has a default gateway configured, the packet for a remote network can be forwarded using that route.
When forwarding a packet which route will the packet select?
First, routing is the process a router performs when making forwarding decisions for each packet arriving at the gateway interface. To forward a packet to a destination network, the router requires a route to that network. If a route to a destination network does not exist on the router, the packet will be forwarded to the default gateway. Now, the destination network can be a number of routers or hops away from the default gateway. If the router has an entry for the network in its routing table, it would only indicate the next-hop router to which the packet is to be forwarded to and not the exact route to the final router. To sum it up, the routing process uses a routing table to map the destination address to the next hop and then forwards the packet to the next-hop address.

Which action could be taken by a router if a specific match is not made to a route in the routing table?
Neighboring routers are polled to find the best path. The packet will be forwarded to a default route if one is present.
Does the router do after it determines that a data packet from Network 1 should be forwarded to?
A router would then consult its tables to determine what the next router address should be, and the best route.
What information is used at each hop to determine where the packet will be forwarded next?
ip packet header
What does the TTLvalue zero indicate?
The TTL (Time To Live) value is a number associated with network routing packets. An information packet will only be forwarded to a certain number of routers before the packet is dropped (deleted). The TTL is a counter decreased by 1 when the packet is forwarded to another router. When the TTL reaches zero, it will not be forwarded to another router.
How are endless loops of packets prevented?
A packet will not go around networks endlessly because it has a field in the header called the TTL field. This is a number that limits the number of hops or networks a packet will be forwarded to.
When the destination network is not listed in the routing table of a cisco router what two possible actions the router might take?
The router discards the packet.The router forwards the packet out the interface indicated by the default route entry.
Which route will be preferred for this packet?
through the Fa0/1 interface
What does the router do after it determines that a data packet from Network 1 should be forwarded to Network 2?
It reassembles the frame with different MAC addresses than the original frame.
Each route that a packet takes to reach the next device is called what?
A hop
