What is Static Routing?1 pointStatic routing is a form of routing that occurs when a router uses a manually-configured routing entry.Static Routing is a form of routing that automatically chooses the path to send the packets.

Static routing is a type of routing that occurs when a router uses a manually-configured routing entry, rather than information from a dynamic routing traffic. In static routing, the path that network packets should take through the network is determined by manual configuration. This is in contrast to dynamic routing which uses algorithms and protocols to automatically determine the path. Static routing has the advantage of being more secure and having less network traffic, but the disadvantage of being inflexible and not scaling well.
