It 242 Week 6 Checkpoint Static Or Dynamic

To make the decision to configure an IP route between two routers using dynamic or static routing requires compare and contrast. This decision will be weighed, depending on the type of network. Some of the aspects that can determine whether or not the company should go with static or dynamic routing is if the topology changes often and it is not constant, also the size of the company itself can make a difference in the decision. In static routing, turn by turn directions for the networking traffic are setup by the network administrator. This determines how data is sent from one subnet to the next, and to other networks such as the Internet. Each network or subnet will be assigned a static route. That route will specify the next router in that network, and the next router will specify the next router after that one, and so on. Once the packet has reached its final destination, it will not be transmitted further and that data will be transmitted to the network host that it is directly connected to. This works well for smaller networks, where the topology remains constant. One of the advantages is that the network administrator has complete
