Static Route

Static Route

As the name implies, a changeless avenue provides IP acquisition advice to the Security Appliance after the charge of

dynamic acquisition protocol. A changeless avenue has a college antecedence over any activating acquisition agreement and is

always the best alternative to advanced cartage to the adapted destination. The absence authoritative ambit for a

static avenue is 1, giving it antecedence over added routes apparent by activating acquisition protocols, but not

directly affiliated routes. Affiliated routes consistently booty antecedence over changeless or dynamically discovered

routes. In the accident of a assorted entries bout for a defined destination address, the longest bout is

preferred. The longest bout is the access with the accomplished cardinal of 1 $.25 in its Acquisition Mask.

Configure changeless routes application the avenue command from the all-around agreement approach to advanced cartage for

specified nonconnected destination network. One disadvantage of a changeless avenue is that avenue access will always

remain in the acquisition table, alike if the defined aperture becomes unavailable. This is because no mechanism

exists for the Security Appliance to actuate that the aperture abode is not reachable. (This behavior is

prevented aback application activating acquisition protocol.) If the defined aperture becomes unavailable, changeless routes

need to be manually removed. However, changeless routes are removed automatically from the acquisition table if the

specified concrete interface goes down, and they are reinstated aback the interface comes aback up.
