Configuring IP Static and Framed Routes 4-11
Configuring IP
Static and Framed
Routes
A Static route is a configured route that will remain in the routing table
until deleted. Static routes differ from Dynamic routes in that Dynamic
routes are learned real-time via RIP.
A Framed route is much like a static route in that you manually configure
the route. The difference is that a static route is defined for the LAN while
a framed route is associated with a remote site. Also, while a static route
is active when the LAN is connected, a framed route is active only when
the connection to the associated remote site is active.
Only use static and framed routes for networks not learned using RIP.
