You configure static routes only for unusual cases such as multiple routers or multiple IP subnets located on your network. Static Route Example As an example of when a static route is needed, consider the following case: • • • Your primary Internet access is through a cable modem to an ISP. You have an ISDN router on your home network for connecting to the company where you are employed.
