Which routing type uses manually configured routes that do not change unless administratively modified?

• A. Dynamic Routing
• B. Static Routing
• C. Default Routing
• D. Policy Routing

Answer: (B)

Static routing uses fixed paths you configure by hand in the router. The routes you enter stay in the table and won’t change unless you administratively modify them. Because there are no routing protocol updates to adjust decisions, static routes are predictable and have low overhead, but they won’t adapt if a link fails unless you add a backup route. Dynamic routing, in contrast, learns paths from neighboring routers and automatically adapts to topology changes. Default routing is a special static route used as a last resort when no other match exists, and policy routing directs traffic based on defined rules beyond the destination.
