Static Routing
Static routes are manually configured routes to remote networks. That is, the route is predefined
and is not discovered by the Routing Information Protocol (RIP), as in dynamic routing. The
advantage to using static routing is that network traffic is reduced; thus, static routing is beneficial
for slow Internet connections. Routing using static routes is practical for small networks. For
larger networks, the router needs to dynamically keep track of changes in the physical wiring of
the network, and the use of dynamic routing (RIP) is recommended. The next section describes
dynamic routing.
