A. B. C. D. E. F. G.AE
The two advantages of static routing when compared to dynamic routing are:
A. Security increases because only the network administrator may change the routing tables. Static routing allows the network administrator to manually configure the routing table, which prevents unauthorized changes to the routing table. This increases security and reduces the risk of routing table attacks, which can occur in dynamic routing protocols.
E. Routing traffic load is reduced when used in stub network links. Static routing can reduce routing traffic load on stub network links by allowing the network administrator to manually configure routes to destinations. This reduces the amount of routing information that needs to be exchanged between routers in the network, and can improve network performance and reduce the risk of network congestion.
Now, let's go through the options that are not correct:
B. Configuration complexity decreases as network size increases. This is not true, as static routing requires manual configuration for every router in the network. This becomes increasingly complex as the network size grows.
C. Routing updates are automatically sent to neighbors. This is a feature of dynamic routing protocols, not static routing. In static routing, the network administrator must manually configure the routing table.
D. Route summarization is computed automatically by the router. This is also a feature of dynamic routing protocols, not static routing. In static routing, the network administrator must manually configure route summarization.
F. An efficient algorithm is used to build routing tables, using automatic updates. This is true for dynamic routing protocols, not static routing. Static routing requires manual configuration by the network administrator.
G. Routing tables adapt automatically to topology changes. This is also a feature of dynamic routing protocols, not static routing. In static routing, the network administrator must manually update the routing table to adapt to topology changes.
