group makes the detected group unreachable and the remaining IP addresses will not be detected. If

Auto Detect Implementation in Static Routing
A static route is a special route. It is manually configured by the administrator. With a static route
configured, the data packets to the specified destination will be forwarded along the path specified by
the administrator.
The disadvantage of using static routes is that they cannot adapt to network topology changes. If a fault
or a topology change occurs to the network, the routes may be unreachable and the network may
break.
