Static Routes
The Nortel Networks routing software for DECnet services allows you to
configure static routes to another network or node for the Nortel Networks router.
Static routes are manually configured routes that specify the transmission path a
datagram must follow based on the datagram’s destination address.
Use static routes and disable the sending of Level 1 and Level 2 topology update
packets to reduce traffic over wide area networks (WANs) or slow links. Static
routes restrict the paths that datagrams follow to paths you specifically configure.
For example, Figure 1-7
shows three Level 2 routers that reside in different areas.
To configure a static route from Router A to Router C, you must specify the
source address, next hop, and destination address. Because this is a route from
Area 1 to Area 2, the static route type is Level 2.

Refer to “Configuring Static Routes” in Chapter 3 for details on adding, editing,
and deleting static routes.
