Question

question #4 of 120 which of the following is not an advantage of static routes over dynamic routing protocols? a) static routes are easier to configure and troubleshoot than dynamic routing protocols. b) routing protocol overhead is not generated by the router. c) static route configuration is more fault tolerant than dynamic routing protocols. d) bandwidth is not consumed by route advertisements between network devices.

Explanation:

To determine the answer, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Static routes are generally simpler to configure and troubleshoot compared to dynamic routing protocols (which have more complex mechanisms for route discovery/updating), so this is an advantage.
• Option B: Dynamic routing protocols generate overhead (e.g., sending route updates), while static routes don't, so this is an advantage of static routes.
• Option C: Dynamic routing protocols can adapt to network changes (like link failures) by finding alternative paths, while static routes rely on manual configuration and are less fault - tolerant. So this statement is incorrect and is not an advantage of static routes.
• Option D: Dynamic routing protocols use bandwidth for route advertisements, while static routes don't, so this is an advantage of static routes.

Answer:

C) Static route configuration is more fault tolerant than dynamic routing protocols.
