Which of the following statements about static routes is correct?

Static routes are manually configured by network administrators and are not dynamically updated by routing protocols. Let us analyze each option:

Option A :

Correct : Static routes are manually added to the routing table by the administrator. They remain unchanged unless manually modified or removed.

Option B :

Incorrect : Static routes are not automatically recalculated when the network topology changes. If a static route becomes invalid due to a topology change, the administrator must manually update it.

Option C :

Incorrect : Static routes are not learned from other routing protocols. Routes learned from dynamic protocols (e.g., OSPF, RIP) are dynamic routes, not static routes.

Option D :

Incorrect : Static routes are not preconfigured on routers before delivery. They are configured by administrators based on the network design.

Thus, the correct answer is A .
