Static routing is a technique in which a network administrator configures a routing table to direct messages along specific paths between networks.Static routes are appropriatein certain situations,such as the static route between a small business and its ISP.However,static routes used to traverse several networks don't account for occasional network congestion,failed connections,or device moves,and they require human intervention.Dynamic routing,on the other hand,automatically calculates the best path between two networksand accumulates this information in the routing table.If congestion or failures affectthe network,a router using dynamic routing can detect the problems and reroute messagesthrough a different path.By default,when a router is added to a network,dynamic routingensures that the new router's routing tables are updated.

Describe the difference between dynamic ARP table entries and static ARP table entries.

Matching Match each correct item with the statement below. -A process whereby routers learn aboutall of the devices on their networks.On IPv4 networks,this process is managed by ARP with help from ICMP.On IPv6 networks,NDP (Neighbor Discovery Protocol)automatically detects neighboring devices and automaticallyadjusts when nodes fail or are removed from thenetwork.
