Static routing

If you remember, static routing is adding the destination networks manually, which means that you are building the routing table.

Benefits of using static routes

• You are not putting less burden on the CPU, which in turn may allow you to purchase a more inexpensive router. That does not mean you should buy cheap IT equipment.
• Since you are not going to use a dynamic routing protocol, the router will not be sending updates across your WAN, which in turn means less bandwidth usage, and you pay less.
• Since you are building the routing table from scratch, you are in complete control of who can access what network and where they can go on the network. So, a layer of security does exist by using static routes.
