While it provides granular control, static routing is not fault tolerant and any changes require manual intervention. The document outlines advantages of minimal overhead and control, and disadvantages of lack of dynamics and impracticality for large networks. It introduces the topic of static routing that will be implemented for a given topology.

    Routing - Static Routing


    There are two basic methods of building a routing table:
     Static Routing
     Dynamic Routing

    A static routing table is created, maintained, and updated by a network administrator,


    manually. A static route to every network must be configured on every router for full
    connectivity. This provides a granular level of control over routing, but quickly becomes
    impractical on large networks.

    Routers will not share static routes with each other, thus reducing CPU/RAM overhead and
    saving bandwidth. However, static routing is not fault-tolerant, as any change to the routing
    infrastructure (such as a link going down, or a new network added) requires manual
    intervention. Routers operating in a purely static environment cannot seamlessly choose a
    better route if a link becomes unavailable.

    Static routes have an Administrative Distance (AD) of 1, and thus are always preferred over
    dynamic routes, unless the default AD is changed. A static route with an adjusted AD is called a
    floating static route, and is covered in greater detail in another guide.

    The following briefly outlines the advantages and disadvantages of static routing:

    Advantages of Static Routing


     Minimal CPU/Memory overhead
     No bandwidth overhead (updates are not shared between routers)
     Granular control on how traffic is routed

    Disadvantages of Static Routing

     Infrastructure changes must be manually adjusted


     No “dynamic” fault tolerance if a link goes down
     Impractical on large network
