Chapter 18. Routing Dynamically
Routers forward packets by using information in the routing table. Routes to remote networks can be learned by the router in two ways: static routes and dynamic routes. In a large network with numerous networks and subnets, configuring and maintaining static routes between these networks requires a great deal of administrative and operational overhead. Implementing dynamic routing protocols can ease the burden of configuration and maintenance tasks and give the network scalability.
