6.3.1 Introduction to Static Route
A static route is manually configured by the network administrator, which is stored in a
routing table. By using routing table, the Gigabit Router can select an optimal transmission
path for each received packet, and forward the packet to the destination site effectively.
The proper usage of static routes can not only improve the network performance, but also
achieve other benefits, such as traffic control, provide a secure network environment.
The disadvantage of using static routes is that they cannot dynamically adapt to the
current operational state of the network. When there is a change in the network or a failure
occurs, some static routes will be unreachable. In this case, the network administrator
should update the static routes manually.
