== 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.

* Static routing is often used to help transfer routing information from one routing protocol to another (routing redistribution) without hesitation.
