Routers can communicate with each other through dynamic or static routing. A dynamic routing protocol, such as protocol, such as (RIP, OSPF, BGP, and so on) learns about its directly connected routes and then forwards that information to its directly connected routers, or in more complex environments, to other routers configured in the same process.

 

Static routing is performed on the router by a network administrator manually configuring static routes. These routes tell the router which interface or next hop router to use to get to a specific destination network.

 

Answer the following question(s):

1. 1.Given the manual nature of static routing, why would it be used on a network rather than dynamic routing? Explain your answer.
2. 2.Fully address the questions in this discussion; provide valid rationale for your choices, where applicable.
