What is the main advantage of static routes?

Static routing provides some advantages over dynamic routing, including: Static routes are not advertised over the network, resulting in better security. Static routes use less bandwidth than dynamic routing protocols, as routers do not exchange routes. No CPU cycles are used to calculate and communicate routes.

Why would you use a static route?

Static routing can be used for small networks that require only one or two routes. This is often more efficient since a link is not being wasted by exchanging dynamic routing information. Static routing is often used as a complement to dynamic routing to provide a failsafe backup if a dynamic route is unavailable.

Why are static routes necessary?
