In a network, a data packet is received by a router for transmitting it to another network. For forwarding the packet to the other available networks, the router is configured with a static or a…

Explanation

Static routing is a data communication concept that describes a way to configure path selection of routers in computer networks. This is achieved by manually adding routes to the routing table. However, when there is a change in the network or a failure occurs between two statically defined nodes, traffic will not be rerouted. Static routing is beneficial in many ways: Precise control over the routes that a packet will take across the network Reduced load on the routers, as no complex routing calculations are required Reduced bandwidth use, as there is no excessive router traffic. Easy to configure in small networks Answer: A is incorrect. This is a property of a dynamic route. A static route cannot choose the best path. It can only choose the paths that are manually entered. When there is a change in the network or a failure occurs between two statically defined nodes, traffic will not be rerouted.
