In a large or expanding network, configuringstatic routes for all the necessary routes can become increasinglycomplicated and time-consuming. Ensuring that all routes remain accuratecan also add to the administrative burden. Each time you add a connectionor change a route, you must configure the change on every routingdevice in the network. Also, routers do not automatically respondto a failed static connection, so traffic can be lost or misrouted.
NOTE: Network management and monitoring applicationssuch as PCM and PCM+ can detect failed static routes. | |
