Static vs Dynamic Routing. When to Use Each
This is the type of question the exam writers LOVE to add to exams like the CCNA.
These are also the types of questions in the exam that bring a smile to your face, because you know you've got this, click the correct answer and hit next, knowing that's one done!
So here is your recap. At a high level, what's the difference between Static Routing and Dynamic Routing?
Static Routing:
- Small networks less than 10 routers
- Point-to-point links
- Default routes to ISP
- Predictable secure
- Does not adapt to failures
- Manual configuration equals human error
Dynamic Routing (OSPF, EIGRP, etc):
- Large networks
- Automatically adapts to changes
- Load balancing
- Scalable
- More complex to configure
- Uses bandwidth and CPU
💡Exam Trick: Small office with 2 routers equals Static Routing. Enterprise with 50 routers equals Dynamic Routing.
