Static Routing
The Static Routing is used to configure static routes to remote networks
manually, where the route is predefined and is not supervised by the Routing
Information Protocol (RIP). It can explicitly reduce the network traffic and
speed the Internet connects for a small network.
However, it may fall into a certain disadvantage. When a static router
involves more than one Hop, if the connection to the next hop goes down, the
router cannot be aware of the invalid path and continues to route traffic on
this hop.
On the Static Routing page, you can add up to 20 static routes by indicating:
▪
Destination LAN IP address and Subnet Mask
▪ Remote gateway
▪ Hop
▪ Router interface through which to forward the packets to the
destination.
Note – If the network topology changes, you may have to
make changes to the static routing tables for relevant static
routes.
