Study Notes
Static Routing Basics
- Static routes are manually configured entries in a routing table.
- Advantages include enhanced security, resource efficiency, and predictable data paths.
- Disadvantages include configuration complexity, potential errors in large networks, and lack of scalability.
Types of Static Routes
- Standard Static Route: Defines a route to a specific network.
- Default Static Route (Gateway of Last Resort): Forwards packets without a more specific match; commonly uses the network address 0.0.0.0/0.
- Floating Static Route: A backup route activated when the primary route fails, configured with a higher administrative distance.
Use Cases for Static Routing
- Suitable for small networks with limited growth.
- Useful in stub networks (networks with a single route and no neighbors).
- Used to define default routes for handling destinations without more specific routes.
