Practical No.

: 4
Aim : Create a small IPv4 static routing network using relevant software.
Static Route Configuration
Static Route
Static routing method is most trusted by a router.
Static routing is not really a routing protocol.
Static routes do not dynamically adapt to network changes, are not particularly scalable, and
require manual updating to reflect changes.
Static routing has the following advantages :
There is no bandwidth usage between routers, which means you could possibly save money
on WAN links.
There is no overhead on the router CPU, which means you could possibly buy a cheaper
router than you would use if you were using dynamic routing.
It adds security because the administrator can choose to allow routing access to certain
networks only.
Static routing has the following disadvantages :
Static routes don’t dynamically adapt to network change.
If a network is added to the internetwork, the administrator has to add a route to it on all
routers— by hand.
It’s not feasible in large networks because maintaining it would be a full-time job in itself.
With static routing, as your network grows, it can be difficult just keep adding static routes
makes sure everybody can still get everything.
The administrator must really understand the internetwork and how each router is connected
in order to configure routes correctly.

There are two different styles to configure an “ip route” command:


1. Using a next hop IP address
2. Using an outgoing interface
Putting three IP addresses, subnet mask and default gateway to three PCs.

Click PC0/ Desktop/IP Configuration /Static

Click PC1/ Desktop/IP Configuration /Static


Click Configure Router R0

Port: FastEthernet0/0

Port: FastEthernet0/1
Click Configure Router R2

Port: FastEthernet0/0

Port: FastEthernet0/1

Configure Static Route to router R0 and R1 Go to config mode, type ip route command, the
subnet number, followed by the mask, and next hop ip address.
Configure static route to router R0

Configure static route to router R1
