What are two disadvantages of Static Rout ng? (Choose two.)

AManual reconfiguration

BRequirement for additional computational resources

CSingle point of failure

DLess security

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A, C

Static routing is a form of routing that occurs when a router uses a manually-configured routing entry, rather than information from dynamic routing traffic 1. Static routing has some advantages, such as simplicity, low overhead, and full control, but it also has some disadvantages, such as:

* Manual reconfiguration: Static routes require manual effort to configure and maintain. This can be time-consuming and error-prone, especially in large networks with many routes. If there is a change in the network topology or a link failure, the static routes need to be updated manually by the network administrator 23.

* Single point of failure: Static routing is not fault tolerant. This means that if the path used by the static route stops working, the traffic will not be rerouted automatically. The network will be unreachable until the failure is repaired or the static route is changed manually. Dynamic routing, on the other hand, can adapt to network changes and find alternative paths 23.

Yeah, it needs more resources to manage effectively.

Wait, less security? I’m not so sure about that.

I think single point of failure is a big issue too.

Manual reconfiguration is definitely a pain.

I feel like less security could be a disadvantage, but I can't recall if that's a common point mentioned in our notes.

I practiced a question like this, and I think the requirement for additional computational resources might not apply to static routing.

I'm not so sure about the specifics, but I remember something about static routing being less flexible. Maybe that relates to a single point of failure?

I think one disadvantage is definitely the manual reconfiguration part. It can be a hassle when changes are needed.

I remember discussing the downsides of static routing in class. It's definitely a manual process, and it doesn't provide the same level of redundancy as dynamic routing. I'll make sure to select those answers.

Okay, I've got this. Static routing requires additional computational resources compared to dynamic routing, and it's less secure since the routes are predefined. Those are the two main disadvantages I'll choose.

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I'm not 100% sure about the differences between static and dynamic routing. I'll have to think through the pros and cons carefully before selecting my answers.

I think the key disadvantages of static routing are the need for manual reconfiguration and the potential for a single point of failure. I'll make sure to select those two options.
