Study Notes
Static Routing Basics
- Static routes are manually configured routes in a routing table.
- Advantages include enhanced security, resource efficiency, and predictable paths.
- Disadvantages include configuration time, potential errors, and scalability issues in large networks.
Types of Static Routes
- Standard Static Route: Defines a route to a specific network.
- Default Static Route (Gateway of Last Resort): Routes packets lacking more specific matches; commonly uses 0.0.0.0/0.
- Floating Static Route: Acts as a backup route, activated when a primary route fails; configured with a higher administrative distance.
Use Cases for Static Routing
- Ideal for small networks anticipating minimal growth.
- Suitable for stub networks with limited routes.
- Useful for handling unknown destinations via default routes.
