Static routing : NOTES

Highlighted notes while studying Advanced Computer Networks:
Static routing.
Source: Wikipedia.

Static routing is a form of routing that occurs when a router uses a manually-configured routing entry, rather than information from dynamic routing traffic.[1] In many cases, static routes are manually configured by a network administrator by adding in entries into a routing table, though this may not always be the case.[2] Unlike dynamic routing, static routes are fixed and do not change if the network is changed or reconfigured. Static routing and dynamic routing are not mutually exclusive. Both dynamic routing and static routing are usually used on a router to maximise routing efficiency and to provide backups in the event that dynamic routing information fails to be exchanged. Static routing can also be used in stub networks, or to provide a gateway of last resort.
