What Are Two Advantages Of Static Routing Over Dynamic Routing? (Choose two.)

When we compare dynamic routing with static routing, the static routing will be more secure when we compare it with dynamic routing.

And also the static routing will be having fewer resources when we compare it with the dynamic routing. Today, let us learn about the difference between static and dynamic routing along with its advantages and disadvantages in detail.

Before we discuss the types of routing, firstly, let us know the definition of the routing bin detail.

The routing is nothing but a process of creating the route for its data packets. The types of this routing are called static routing and dynamic routing. But what is actually the difference between static and dynamic routing?

Now let us know about it in detail. As we said earlier the routing is like the process of creating a specific path for the transmission of the data packets. This will be present at the network layer of the OSI model.

The first type of routing is called static routing. Now let us know about the static routing in detail. Here the static routing does not contain any type of routing protocol. 

Another type of routing is called dynamic routing. This dynamic routing contains the routing protocol, the routing protocols are nothing but the rip, IGRP, IGRP, OSPF, and many more.

When the network administrator manually enters the information in the routing table is called static routing. This static routing will be called one-way communication. And as we said earlier, static routing does not use any routing protocol.

Now let us know how actually this routing protocol works let us know about this in detail. Yo understand this concept in detail, let us take an example. Let say we want to send the data or information from one router to another router, here we create the default route in a way that if any router is present between the sending router and the destination router, the router which is present in between the two routers will send the information to the destination router.

For suppose, due to an unknown reason if router 2 which is present in the middle fails or is unable to send the information to the destination router, then the sending router will not able to decide the alternate routing path for the data packets.

Hence in this type of situation, the network administrator will have to manually configure the alternate route in order to reach the information to the destination router. therefore the main drawback in the Static routing is that it doesn’t contain any alternate route.

But in the dynamic routing, contains some alternate routes in order to send the information to the destination router. 

And also the static routing will be a time-consuming process when we compare it with dynamic routing. The user must wait until the network administrator finds another route. The dynamic routing will be less time-consuming when we compare it with the static routing.
