   What is a trade-off of using dynamic routing?

   • AIt provides less accurate routing information than static routes.
   • BIt eliminates the need for any router configuration.
   • CIt consumes additional CPU, memory, and bandwidth for protocol operations.
   • DIt is only suitable for networks with a single path.

   In which scenario is dynamic routing most appropriate?

   • AA large network with many routers and frequent topology changes.
   • BA network where all routes are known and never change.
   • CA stub network with a single exit point.
   • DA small network with a single router and no redundancy.

   A network engineer is troubleshooting a routing issue. The network uses a mix of static and dynamic routes. A particular destination is reachable via a static route with an administrative distance of 1 and an OSPF route with an administrative distance of 110. The engineer notices that traffic is using the OSPF route instead of the static route. What is the most likely reason?

   • AThe OSPF route has a lower metric than the static route.
   • BThe static route has a higher administrative distance than OSPF.
   • COSPF always overrides static routes regardless of administrative distance.
   • DThe static route is not configured correctly or is pointing to an unreachable next hop.

   How does static routing compare to dynamic routing in terms of convergence?

   • ADynamic routing has no convergence process because routes are fixed.
   • BDynamic routing converges automatically by recalculating routes after a topology change.
   • CStatic routing converges faster because it does not use a routing protocol.
   • DStatic routing converges automatically when a link fails.

   Which statement is true about how dynamic routing protocols update routes?

   • AThey periodically or on-change exchange routing information with other routers.
   • BThey require an administrator to manually recalculate routes after a link failure.
   • CThey use a central server to push routes to all routers.
   • DThey only update routes when the router is rebooted.
