A network administrator manages a network with multiple routers. The network has a mix of static routes and dynamic routing protocols. The administrator needs to ensure that a specific static route is preferred over a dynamically learned route to the same destination. What should the administrator configure?

Increase the metric of the static route

Decrease the administrative distance of the static route

Increase the administrative distance of the static route

Decrease the metric of the static route

A network administrator is configuring a router to reach a remote network. The administrator has a choice between using a static route or a dynamic routing protocol. The network is small and stable, and the administrator wants to minimize bandwidth usage and CPU overhead. Which approach should be taken?

Use a dynamic routing protocol like BGP

Use a dynamic routing protocol like OSPF

Use a dynamic routing protocol like EIGRP

Which statement best describes dynamic routing?

Routes are determined by the physical location of the router.

Routes are only used for backup links and are never the primary path.

Routes are manually entered and require administrator intervention to update.

Routers use routing protocols to automatically discover and update routes based on network changes.
