ICND1: Interconnecting Cisco Networking Devices Part 1 (CCENT, legacy) — Question 79

Which statement is true about static and dynamic routing?

Answer options

• A. Only static routes are shared between connected interfaces
• B. Dynamic routing is more scalable than static routing
• C. Only dynamic routes are secure
• D. Static routing is easier to maintain in a large network than dynamic routing.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Answer B is correct because dynamic routing protocols automatically adjust to changes in the network, making them more scalable for larger networks. In contrast, static routing requires manual updates, which can be cumbersome. The other options are incorrect as static routes are not necessarily shared between interfaces, dynamic routes can also have security measures, and maintaining static routes in large networks can be more challenging.
