Configure IP Routing—“Static Route” Entries
IP routes which are manually entered into the IP Routing table are
called
static routes
. These routes are added to the routing table to
ensure that routes between units or the critical paths for important
applications are fully defined for management.
It is important to enter static routes when configuring the unit to use
unnumbered links because these routes will not be learned by the
unit.
Set up the IP Routing table to associate an IP route with a unit name.
