CCNA Routing and Switching 200-125 Certification Guide

By: Lazaro (Laz) Diaz

Overview of this book

Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) Routing and Switching is one of the most important qualifications for keeping your networking skills up to date. CCNA Routing and Switching 200-125 Certification Guide covers topics included in the latest CCNA exam, along with review and practice questions. This guide introduces you to the structure of IPv4 and IPv6 addresses and examines in detail the creation of IP networks and sub-networks and how to assign addresses in the network. You will then move on to understanding how to configure, verify, and troubleshoot layer 2 and layer 3 protocols. In addition to this, you will discover the functionality, configuration, and troubleshooting of DHCPv4. Combined with router and router simulation practice, this certification guide will help you cover everything you need to know in order to pass the CCNA Routing and Switching 200-125 exam. By the end of this book, you will explore security best practices, as well as get familiar with the protocols that a network administrator can use to monitor the network.

Static routing

If you remember, static routing is adding the destination networks manually, which means that you are building the routing table.

Benefits of using static routes

  • You are not putting less burden on the CPU, which in turn may allow you to purchase a more inexpensive router. That does not mean you should buy cheap IT equipment.
  • Since you are not going to use a dynamic routing protocol, the router will not be sending updates across your WAN, which in turn means less bandwidth usage, and you pay less.
  • Since you are building the routing table from scratch, you are in complete control of who can access what network and where they can go on the network. So, a layer of security does exist by using static routes.
