   Which characteristic is associated with dynamic routing?

   • AIt adapts automatically to network topology changes.
   • BIt is best suited for very small networks with a single path.
   • CIt requires no additional configuration on routers.
   • DRoutes are fixed and do not change unless manually edited.

   A growing company has multiple interconnected sites with redundant links. The network team frequently adds new subnets and changes link costs to optimize traffic flow. They need the routing tables to update automatically without manual intervention. Which routing approach should they choose?

   • ARely on the routing table of the core switch only.
   • BUse a combination of static and default routes only.
   • CImplement a dynamic routing protocol such as OSPF.
   • DConfigure static routes on every router.

   A company is building a new network with multiple sites connected via a mesh of links. The network will have redundant paths and will need to support dynamic traffic engineering. The IT team wants to avoid manual configuration of routes on each router. Which routing approach should they use?

   • ADynamic routing with a link-state protocol like OSPF.
   • BA combination of static and dynamic routing.
   • CDynamic routing with RIP.
   • DStatic routing on each router.

   A network engineer is designing a network with two routers connected by two parallel links. The engineer wants to use both links for load balancing. The network is small and stable. Which routing approach can achieve load balancing with minimal overhead?

   • AEnable OSPF and rely on ECMP.
   • BUse policy-based routing to split traffic.
   • CConfigure static routes with equal metrics to the same destination via different next hops.
   • DConfigure a single static route with a higher bandwidth.

   A network team is deploying a new campus network with multiple buildings, each having its own router. The network will have redundant links and will need to accommodate future expansion. The team wants to minimize manual configuration and ensure that routing tables automatically reflect the current topology. Which approach should they take?

   • AImplement static routes only on the core router and dynamic on the rest.
   • BDeploy a dynamic routing protocol such as OSPF across all routers.
   • CConfigure static routes on each router for all destinations.
   • DUse a single default route on each router pointing to the core.
