Router:
Router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. A router is
connected to two or more data lines from different networks. When a data packet comes in one of the
lines, the router reads the address information in the packet to determine its ultimate destination. Then,
using information in its routing table or routing policy, it directs the packet to the next network on its
journey. This creates an overlay internetwork. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the
Internet. A data packet is typically forwarded from one router to another through the networks that
constitute the internetwork until it reaches its destination node.
Routing:
Routing refers to establishing the routes that data packets take on their way to a particular destination.
This term can be applied to data traveling on the Internet, over 3G or 4G networks, or over similar
networks used for telecom and other digital communications setups.
Static Routing:
Static routing is a form of routing that occurs when a router uses a manually-configured routing entry,
rather than information from a dynamic routing protocol to forward traffic. In many cases, static routes
are usually manually configured by a network administrator by adding in entries into a routing table,
though this may not always be the case. Unlike dynamic routing, static routes are fixed and do not
change if the network is changed or reconfigured. Static routing and dynamic routing are not mutually
exclusive. Both dynamic routing and static routing are usually used on a router to maximize routing
efficiency and to provide backups in the event that dynamic routing information fails to be exchanged.
Static routing can also be used in stub networks, or to provide a gateway of last resort.
DCE/DTE:
DCE and DTE are the interfaces. The DCE-DTE connection between routers is referred to as a null
serial cable DCE (data communication equipment) and DTE (Data terminal equipment).
DCE is located at the service provider end while the DTE is attached device.
The services that are given to the DTE is often accessed via modems or channel service unit/data
service unit(CSU/DSU). DCE provides clocking and DTE receives the clock
Example:
Procedure:
1. Connect the network as shown in the network diagram.
2. Configure appropriate ip addresses and clock rates(if needed) on the router interfaces as specified
in the network diagram.
3. For R1, enter the following static routes
ip route 172.16.20.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.10.2
ip route 192.168.20.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.10.2
4. On R2 enter:
ip route 172.16.10.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.10.1
ip route 172.16.20.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.20.2
5. On R3 enter:
ip route 172.16.10.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.20.1
ip route 192.168.10.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.20.1
