What is Static Routing? Made simple 👇 📌 Static routing is when a network engineer manually tells a router where to send traffic. No guessing. No learning. Just fixed paths. 🔧 How it works You configure a route like: “If traffic is going to this network ➝ send it via this next hop.” ✅ Why static routing is used • Full control over traffic flow • More secure (no route advertisements) 🔒 • Low CPU & memory usage • Perfect for small or simple networks ❌ Limitations • Doesn’t adapt if a link fails
