Overview of Static Routes
Static routes are applicable to simple networks. Proper static routes can improve network performance and ensure bandwidth for important applications.
Definition
A static route is a route that, in most cases, manually configured by the network administrator to allow network traffic to reach a target destination.
Purpose
Static routes are used in different ways on different types of networks.
On simple networks, static routes can be used alone without the need for dynamic routes to ensure network connectivity.
On complex networks, static routes can be used alongside dynamic routes to improve network performance and ensure that bandwidth is available for important applications.
Static routes associated with VPN instances are used to manage VPN routes.
