This section provides the definition and purpose of static route.
Static routes need to be manually configured by the administrator.
On a simple network, the administrator just needs to configure static routes so that the network can run properly. Properly configuring and using static routes can improve network performance and guarantee the required bandwidth for important applications.
When a network fault occurs or the network topology changes, however, static routes cannot automatically change and must be changed manually by the administrator.
The FW supports common static routes and the static routes associated with Virtual Private Network (VPN) instances. The static routes associated with VPN instances are used to manage VPN routes.
