The properconfiguration and usage of static routes can improve networkperformance and ensure bandwidth for important network applications.This document describes:z Static route configurationz Detecting Reachability of the Static Route’s NexthopIPv6 Static RoutingStatic routes are special routes that are manually configured by networkadministrators. Similar to IPv4 static routes, IPv6 static routes work well insimple IPv6 network environments.
