9.1.1 Overview

In static routing, packets are forwarded according to the routing information (static routes) set by using configuration commands.

In the Switch, you can set multiple forwarding routes, including a default route, to a particular destination subnetwork or host.

The following figure shows an example of a network configuration that uses static routing. Set the static route from the head office to each sales office, and then from the sales offices to the head office. In this example, the sales offices cannot communicate with each other.
