CONFIGURING STATIC ROUTES
This router can dynamically configure routes to other network segments
using dynamic routing protocols (i.e., RIP or OSPF). However, you can also
manually enter static routes in the routing table using the IP > Routing >
Static Routes (Add) page. Static routes may be required to access network
segments where dynamic routing is not supported, or can be set to force
the use of a specific route to a subnet, rather than using dynamic routing.
Static routes do not automatically change in response to changes in
network topology, so you should only configure a small number of stable
routes to ensure network accessibility.

COMMAND USAGE
â—† Up to 512 static routes can be configured.
â—† Up to eight equal-cost multipaths (ECMP) can be configured for static
routing (see "Equal-cost Multipath Routing" on page 450).
â—† If an administrative distance is defined for a static route, and the same
destination can be reached through a dynamic route at a lower
administration distance, then the dynamic route will be used.
â—† If both static and dynamic paths have the same lowest cost, the first
route stored in the routing table, either statically configured or
dynamically learned via a routing protocol, will be used.
