Difference between Static and Dynamic Routing


Static Routing: A static routing is a type of routing which is fixed that means it does not update automatically until a network administrator manually configures it. Static routers are used if there are only few devices for root configuration or only one route is available. They also use less bandwidth and ape cycles are not needed to and communicate routers. The problem with static routing that it needed more time to maintain and configure initially.

Dynamic Routing: A dynamic routing is another type of routing which is updated automatically and do not need to configure manually. Dynamic routing allows router to share the network related in formation with other routers and select the best route. In the small network all the router can know about all others. But when the network is become grown up then select the possible path is a problem. Dynamic routing uses multiple algorithms and such as OSPF, RIP are the most popular protocols.


Static Routing Dynamic Routing
1. Are fixed and need to update manually. 1. Automatically updated.
2. Routes are user define. 2. Routes are updated according to the changes in network.
3. Provinces high security. 3. Provides less security.
4. Does not use complex routing algorithm. 4. Uses complex routing algorithm.
5. Additional resources are not required. 5. Additional resources required.
6. Requires less bandwidth than dynamic routing. 6. Requires more bandwidth.
7. Small network infrastructure. 7. Large network infrastructure.
8. There is no reroute traffic. 8. Reroute traffic is present here.
