ROUTING CONFIGURATION GUIDE
Configuring Static | A static route is manually configured by an administrator. In a simple network, you |
Routes | 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. |

Networking and A small company has a simple and stable office network. The company’s existing Configuration devices that do not support dynamic routing protocols. The company requires that Requirements any two nodes on the network can communicate with each other and that the
existing devices can be fully utilized.
In this case, static routes can enable communication between any two nodes on the network.
