Forwarding frame from switch to router / Default Gateway?

All-

Quick ?....how does a switch know to forward a frame to a router when the host is requesting an external resource, website, etc? A switch (L2 that is) will only look at the MAC address so how does it know that the IP address requested by the host device is requesting something outside of the network?
