One application is called a "'floating static route "', where the static route is less preferred than a route from any routing protocol.
22.
The static route, which might use a dialup link or other slow medium, activates only when the dynamic routing protocol ( s ) cannot provide a route to the destination.
23.
The administrative distance can be manually ( re ) configured so that the static route can be configured as a backup route, to be used only if the dynamic route is unavailable.
24.
You can work around this by assigning static IPs; assigning static routes; or setting up a hardware or software router . talk ) 01 : 02, 21 July 2010 ( UTC)

R-SMLT takes care of packet forwarding in core router failures and works with any of the following protocol types : IP Unicast Static Routes, RIP1, RIP2, OSPF, BGP and IPX RIP.
26.
Static routes that are more preferred than any dynamic route also can be very useful, especially when using traffic engineering principles to make certain traffic go over a specific path with an engineered quality of service.
27.
The letter " S " indicates that the route is a static route that has, for all intents and purposes, been added manually to the router process by the administrator and installed into the routing table.
28.
Each connected entity could add specific details of networks they want to talk to directly to their routers ( static routes and bilateral BGP sessions ) but this quickly becomes an administrative headache as adds, changes and deletions become time consuming and error prone if more than a few peering sessions are configured.
29.
However, other mesh, ad hoc or dynamically link-state routed ( OLSR, B . A . T . M . A . N . ) may be supported or even static routing ( WDS, OSPF ) . " See the more detailed description below comparing these routing protocols ."
