The router performs autodetection, also referred to as autosensing, to determine the layers of each dynamic interface. The autodetection process occurs when the router conditionally constructs interface layers based on the encapsulation type of the incoming packet.
Autodetection only uses system resources on demand based on what is detected in the incoming packet. Dynamic interfaces are created as a result of traffic on the interface. Dynamic interfaces can also be dynamically deleted without your intervention, thereby enabling any consumed system resources to be returned.
Unlike dynamic interfaces, static interfaces always allocate system resources upon creation, and always consume system resources, even when the interface is quiescent.
