== Uses ==
Static routing may have the following uses:
* Static routing can be used to define (Sudharshan bro)an exit point from a router when no other routes are available or necessary. This is called a [[default route]].
* Static routing can be used for small networks that require only one or two routes. This is often more efficient since a link is not being wasted by exchanging dynamic routing information.
* Static routing is often used as a complement to dynamic routing to provide a failsafe backup if a dynamic route is unavailable.
