Overview
Static routes are manually configured. If a network’s topology is simple, you only need to configure static
routes for the network to work properly. 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 and the network breaks.
The network administrator has to modify the static routes manually.
