Study Notes
Static Routing Basics
- Static routes are manually configured in the routing table.
- Advantages include enhanced security, resource efficiency, and predictable paths.
- Disadvantages include configuration complexity, high error potential in large networks, and lack of scalability.
Types of Static Routes
- Standard Static Route: Defines a specific network route.
- Default Static Route (Gateway of Last Resort): Directs unmatched traffic, usually with a destination of 0.0.0.0/0.
- Floating Static Route: A backup route for when primary routes fail; configured with a higher administrative distance.
Use Cases for Static Routing
- Suitable for small networks with limited growth.
- Useful for stub networks with single routes.
- Applicable as default routes for unknown or undefined destinations.
