IPv6 static routing
The term "router" in this document refers to both routers and routing-capable firewalls and firewall
modules.
Static routes are manually configured. If a network's topology is simple, you only need to configure static
routes for the network to work correctly.
Static routes cannot adapt to network topology changes. If a fault or a topological change occurs in the
network, the network administrator has to modify the static routes manually.
Similar to IPv4 static routes, IPv6 static routes work well in simple IPv6 network environments.
