Today I will show you how to add persistent static route in windows environment. Just like linux and unix environment, route command can be used to add static routes in Windows pc or windows server. There is a different between static route and persistent static route. Static route configuration will be erased after you reboot the machine. But in persistent static route, you will add –p in the route command which will keep the configuration in the registry even after machine rebooted.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\PersistentRoutes
Example of static route command:
route add 192.168.2.0 mask 255.255.255.0 192.168.2.1 metric 1
To view the static route you can use this command
