Static Routing<br />

IP Routing in Our <strong>Network</strong> 247<br />

If you understand the different routing types, you will be able to decide what<br />

fits best in your business requirements.<br />

The different types of routing you will learn about in this chapter include<br />

the following:<br />

� Static routing<br />

� Default routing<br />

� Dynamic routing<br />

We will start off by describing and implementing static routing on our<br />

network. Why? Because if you can implement static routing and make it<br />

work, it means you have a good understanding of the internetwork.<br />

Static routing is the process of an administrator manually adding routes in<br />

each router’s routing table. There are benefits and disadvantages to all routing<br />

processes.<br />

Static routing has the following benefits:<br />

� No overhead on the router CPU<br />

� No bandwidth usage between routers<br />

� Security (because the administrator only allows routing to certain<br />

networks)<br />

Static routing has the following disadvantages:<br />

� The administrator must really understand the internetwork and how<br />

each router is connected to configure the routes correctly.<br />

� If one network is added to the internetwork, the administrator must<br />

add a route to it on all routers.<br />

� It’s not feasible in large networks because it would be a full-time job.<br />

The command used to add a static route to a routing table is<br />

ip route [destination_network] [mask] [next_hop_address or<br />

exitinterface] [administrative_distance][permanent]
