3.4.6.2 Static Routes
Networking devices forward packets using route information that is either
manually configured or dynamically learned using a routing protocol. Static routes
are manually configured and define an explicit path between two networking
devices. Unlike a dynamic routing protocol, static routes are not automatically
updated and must be manually reconfigured if the network topology changes.
The benefits of using static routes include security and resource efficiency. Static
routes use less bandwidth than dynamic routing protocols and no CPU cycles are
used to calculate and communicate routes. The main disadvantage to using
static routes is the lack of automatic reconfiguration if the network topology
changes.
