Chapter 57 Static routing Configuration
57.1 Overview
The chapter illustrates how to configure the Satatic routing. If you would like to have the
detailed description on the Satatic routing commands in this section, you can refer to the
Chapter of " Satatic routing " in the "Reference for the Network Protocol Commands". If
you would like to search the document with other commands, you can use the master
index for commands and conduct inline search.
Static routing is a special routing configuration ,and is configured by an administrator. In
the network structure is relatively simple network, you only need to configure static routes
on network interoperability. Properly setting up and using static routes can improve
network performance and be guaranteed bandwidth for important network applications.
The shortcomings of the static route is: It can not automatically adapt to changes in
network topology. When network failure or topology change may be the route is
unreachable, resulting in network outages, then you must manually by the network
administrator to modify the configuration of static routes.
Default route in the router can not find a matching routing table entry when routing:
 If the packet's destination address can not be any entries in the routing table to match, the
packet will select the default routing;
 If no default route and destination of the packet is not in the routing table, the packet will be
discarded.
Network 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0 in the form of default route through the static routing
configuration, in order to appear in the routing table.
57.2 Static Routing Configuration Task List
If you would like to configure the static routing, the following tasks are necessary.
 configure the relevant physical parameters of the interface
 configure the link layer attributes of the related interface
 configure the IP address of the relevant interface
