Static Routes

This option enables you to add or remove static route rules. Static routes are usually only used in conjunction with /etc/defaultrouter. Static routes may be required for network topology, where you don’t want to traverse your default Gateway/Router. In this case, you will probably wish to make the routes permanent by adding the static routing rules. Static routes can be added with both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.
