Static Unicast Routes
Information About Static Unicast Routes
Static unicast routes are user-defined routes that cause packets moving between a source and a destination to
take a specified path. Static routes can be important if the router cannot build a route to a particular destination
and are useful for specifying a gateway of last resort to which all unroutable packets are sent.
