How are static routes set

Question

Looking at man ip-route, I see this section under protocol:

static - the route was installed by the
administrator to override dynamic routing.
Routing daemon will respect them and,
probably, even advertise them to its peers.

How does an administrator set these? Is there a configuration file somewhere on the system?

Yes, but where that route is in the config varies by distribution - and indeed by how the host has been configured. It may reside with with the interface config or in /etc/routes or be set via DHCP, or VPN, or other software running on the host.

If there is a problem you are trying to solve, please provide specifics.

That's enough for my question. Thanks! – August Vrubel Feb 01 '23 at 00:57
