Configuring IPX

A static route is a configured route that will remain in the routing table

Static and Framed

until deleted. Static routes differ from dynamic routes in that dynamic

Routes

routes are learned from real-time via RIP or when new connections are

 

established.

 

A framed route is much like a static route in that you manually configure

 

the route. The difference is that a static route is defined for the LAN while

 

a framed route is associated with a remote site. Also, while a static route

 

is active when the LAN is connected, a framed route is active only when

 

the connection to the associated remote site is active.

 

Use static and framed routes only for networks not learned using RIP.
