ROUTING CONFIGURATION GUIDE
Configuring Static
Routes
A static route is manually configured by an administrator. In a simple network, you
only need to configure static routes to make the network work normally. The
proper configuration and usage of static routes can improve network performance
and ensure the bandwidth for important applications. However, if a fault occurs to
the network, the corresponding static routes cannot be updated dynamically, and
the network administrator has to modify the static routes manually.
For two devices to be reachable to each other, you need to configure a static route
to the peer on each device.
