- Up to 600 static routes can be configured per station.
- Redistribution of static routes over the network (by means of OSPF) is possible.
- Static routes have precedence over dynamic OSPF routes.

Static Routing in a Star Network

IP connectivity between two star terminals in a star network may be enabled by defining static
routes via the hub station. Typical configuration is to define a default route on each star terminal
with the hub station as a next hop and to define explicit static routes to each terminal's LAN
network on the hub. To prevent that the hub station informs the terminals that they can reach
each other via a direct hop, generation of ICMP redirect messages must be suppressed by con-
figuration on the hub. The following picture presents an overview of IP routing in a star network:
