IPv4 Static Routing
Aim:
To configure and verify IPv4 static routing in a network that includes subnetted IP addressing using
Cisco Packet Tracer.
Description:
Static routing is a method of routing in which the network administrator manually configures the routes
in a router. In this method, the router does not automatically learn routes from other routers. Instead, the path to
reach a particular network is entered manually using the appropriate routing command. Static routing is mainly
used in small networks where the network structure is simple and does not change frequently.
One of the main features of static routing is that it does not exchange routing information with other routers,
which reduces network traffic and CPU usage. It provides better security because routes are not advertised to
other devices. Static routing also offers better control over the path that data packets take within the network.
However, it requires manual configuration and maintenance, which can become difficult in large networks.
Overall, static routing is simple, reliable, and suitable for small and stable network environments.
