Static Routes

Static routes are manually configured routes that

• direct data packets through a network using predetermined paths
• provides a stable and predictable network environment, and
• is ideal for smaller networks or scenarios where network stability and security are paramount.

Unlike dynamic routing, which adjusts routes based on real-time network conditions, static routes remain fixed unless manually modified.
