Static route configuration
Static routes are manually configured. If a network’s topology is simple, you only need to configure static
routes to implement network communication. The proper configuration and usage of static routes can
improve network performance and ensure bandwidth for important network applications.
The disadvantage of using static routes is that they cannot adapt to network topology changes. If a fault
or a topological change occurs in the network, the routes will be unreachable. The network administrator
has to modify the static routes manually.
