19 Configuring static routes 
It is possible to define arbitrary IPv4 routes on specific interfaces using route sections. 
As for aliases, multiple sections can be attached to an interface. These types of routes 
are most commonly known as static routes. 
You can add static routes to the routing table to forward traffic to specific subnets when 
dynamic routing protocols are not used or they are not configured for such subnets. 
They can be created based on outgoing interface or next hop IP address.
