The Switch supports both static and dynamic routing.
Static routing requires routing information to be stored in the Switch, either manually or when a
connection is set up by an application outside the Switch.
Dynamic routing uses a routing protocol to exchange routing information, calculate routing tables,
and respond to changes in the status or loading of the network.
Dynamic routing involves the determination and updating of all the routing information required for
packet forwarding.
