There are two types of redirects you can use, a 301 and a 302. These numbers refer to the HTTP Status Code returned by the server for a given URL. A 301 redirect tells the search engine that the page has moved permanently to the new URL. A 302 redirect tells the search engine that the move is only temporary, and you may decide to show content at the original location in the future without a redirect.

301 and 302 both are redirection which means are given below:

301: Moved permanently,This and all future requests should be directed to the given URI.
302: Found, This is an example of industry practice contradicting the standard.
