Episode 95 — Virtual Routing — Static vs. Dynamic and vNICs
In this episode, we explore virtual routing in cloud environments, starting with static routing, where administrators manually define network paths, and dynamic routing, where protocols like BGP or OSPF adjust routes automatically based on network changes. We explain when each approach is best suited, considering factors like control, scalability, and responsiveness. The role of virtual network interface cards (vNICs) is also discussed, showing how they connect virtual machines or containers to networks.
We also cover troubleshooting considerations, including misconfigured routes, latency issues, and vNIC driver compatibility. In the Cloud+ exam, understanding routing approaches and vNIC configurations is key to solving network connectivity and optimization scenarios.
