A static route is a fixed route that allows network traffic to reach its target destination. Typically, static routes are manually configured by network administrators.
Static routes are used in different ways on different types of network.
On simple networks, static routes can be used alone, without the need for dynamic routes.
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 can be associated with VPN instances to manage VPN routes.
