Configuring Static Routing
1

Overview

Static routing is a form of routing that is configured manually by adding non-aging entries
into a routing table. The manually-configured routing information guides the router in
forwarding data packets to the specific destination. On a simple network with a small
number of devices, you only need to configure static routes to ensure that the devices
from different subnets can communicate with each other. On a complex large-scale
network, static routes ensure stable connectivity for important applications because the
static routes remain unchanged even when the topology changes.
The switch supports IPv4 static routing and IPv6 static routing.
