How To Con gure Static Routing On Cisco Router?

How to Con gure Static Routing on Cisco Router? Step by Step guide.

Con gure Static Routing is the routing that network administrator con gures the network routers
manually, instead of using routing protocols RIP, OSPF, etc. which utilized in the dynamic routing. The
bene ts of static routing are minimum bandwidth usage, no overhead on router CPU and much more
and perfect for a small network with a few routers. But it is not without cons. It ‘s hard to con gure all
routers manually in the vast network and troubleshooting is always harder than con guration.

As a network administrator or student of CCNA, you must know the con guration of static routing. It
helps you understand the process and functions of routing in the network apparently.

Con gure Static Routing Using Cisco Packet

Tracer
To perform this task, you must create a lab and con gure the basic IP addressing for all PCs and
Routers or download my CCNA Lab – Static Route with Cisco packet tracer. CCNA Lab – Static Route
– no Con gure.

I have con gured the Static Route the same as the screenshot, and it is not yet con gured routing.
You must con gure it with below step by step Static Routing guide.

Static Routing command syntax: Ip route [destination network address] [mask] [next hop
address or interface name]

1. In the R1 type the following commands to introduce two LANs 192.168.10.0/24 and
192.168.30.0/24 for Router 1.

1 R1(config)#ip route 192.168.30.0 255.255.255.0 10.10.20.2 150

2 R1(config)#ip route 192.168.10.0 255.255.255.0 10.10.10.2 150
2. Router2: Add three networks for router 2 and be sure that do not con gure it with wrong IP
address.

1 R2(config)#ip route 192.168.10.0 255.255.255.0 10.10.10.1 150

2 R2(config)#ip route 10.10.10.0 255.255.255.0 10.10.20.1 150
3 R2(config)#ip route 192.168.20.0 255.255.255.0 10.10.20.1 150
3. Router3: Do the same as router 2 but with different destination and exit interface address.

1 R3(config)#ip route 192.168.30.0 255.255.255.0 10.10.20.1 150

2 R3(config)#ip route 10.10.20.0 255.255.255.0 10.10.10.1 150
3 R3(config)#ip route 192.168.20.0 255.255.255.0 10.10.10.1 150
So it’s easy and not too much di culty. If you want to accomplish this task, rstly you must try to
understand the concept of routing and then try to con gure it.

You can download the complete Static Routing Lab from the link below and look at the routing
con guration with ‘show ip route or show run‘ commands.  CCNA Lab – Static Route. If you have any
question, please feel free to ask us.

I'm a network and Information Security instructor. Here is my online pictorial notebook. I would like
to write and share my experience through this website for computer enthusiasts and technology
geeks.

I used default route in R2 and R3, this is wrong?

I hadn’t thought of using containers but that’s a great idea. Thanks so much for sharing!

Step 1: Con gure a recursive static route.

With a recursive static route, the next-hop IP address is speci ed. Because only the next-hop IP is
speci ed,
the router must perform multiple lookups in the routing table before forwarding packets. To con gure
recursive static routes, use the following syntax:
Router(con g)# ip route network-address subnet-mask ip-address
a. On the R1 router, con gure a static route to the 192.168.1.0 network using the IP address of the
Serial
0/0/0 interface of R3 as the next-hop address.Write the command you used in the space provided.
b. View the routing table to verify the new static route entry.
How is this new route listed in the routing table?
From host PC-A, is it possible to ping the host PC-C?
These pings should fail. If the recursive static route is correctly con gured, the ping arrives at PC-C. PC-
C
sends a ping reply back to PC-A. However, the ping reply is discarded at R3 because R3 does not have a
return route to the 192.168.0.0 network in the routing table.

Step 2: Con gure a directly connected static route.

With a directly connected static route, the exit-interface parameter is speci ed, which allows the router
to
resolve a forwarding decision in one lookup. A directly connected static route is typically used with a
point-topoint
serial interface. To con gure directly connected static routes with an exit interface speci ed, use the
following syntax:
Router(con g)# ip route network-address subnet-mask exit-intf
a. On the R3 router, con gure a static route to the 192.168.0.0 network using S0/0/0 as the exit
interface.

Router3# con g t
Enter con guration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Router3(con g)# ip route 192.168.0.0 255.255.255.0 10.1.1.2
%Invalid next hop address (it’s this router)

these are the steps I am following where am I going wrong?

I used your technig in my own task, and it worked just ne. Thank you

Maybe this exercise isn´t right?

If you packet for lan 192.168.10.0 is in R2, your next hop is 10.10.20.1 not 10.10.10.1…
R2(con g)#ip route 192.168.20.0 255.255.255.0 10.10.20.1 150
Because R1 already have a route to get this network
ip route 192.168.10.0 255.255.255.0 10.10.10.2 150

Any thoughts?

Jotas Says  10 months ago

My corret answer for this example is this:

R1(con g)#ip route 192.168.30.0 255.255.255.0 10.10.20.2 150

R1(con g)#ip route 192.168.10.0 255.255.255.0 10.10.10.2 150

R2(con g)#ip route 192.168.10.0 255.255.255.0 10.10.20.1 150

R2(con g)#ip route 192.168.20.0 255.255.255.0 10.10.20.1 150

R3(con g)#ip route 192.168.30.0 255.255.255.0 10.10.10.1 150

R3(con g)#ip route 192.168.20.0 255.255.255.0 10.10.10.1 150

For me works, i see pings in all networks.
