Static Routing Flashcards
Static Routes
Static Routes requires zero bandwidth because implementing manual route entries does not require communication with other routers
static routes Useful when
Dynamic ROuting protocols cannot be used on a router because of limited router CPU or memeory
Routes learned from dynamic routing protocols need to be superseded
Types of Static routes
- Directly attached static routers
- Recursive static route
- Fully specified static route
Directly Attached Static Routes
A static route that uses only the outbound next hop interface is known as directly attached static route, and it requires that the outbound interface be in an up state for the route to be installed into the RIB..
Static Routes are required on both routers so that return traffic will have a path back.
Recursive Static Routes
A recursive static route specifies the ip address of the next hop address, THe recursive lookup occurs when the router queries the RIBto locate the route toward the next -hop IP address and then cross references the adjacency table
Fully Specified Static Routes
A static route with both an interface and a next-hop IP address is knows as a fully specified static route.
If the interface listed is not in an up state, the router removes the static route from RIB.
