Configuring IPX
Static and Framed
Routes
A static route is a configured route that will remain in the routing table
until deleted. Static routes differ from dynamic routes in that dynamic
routes are learned from real-time via RIP or when new connections are
established.
A framed route is much like a static route in that you manually configure
the route. The difference is that a static route is defined for the LAN while
a framed route is associated with a remote site. Also, while a static route
is active when the LAN is connected, a framed route is active only when
the connection to the associated remote site is active.
Use static and framed routes only for networks not learned using RIP.
