This LAB will cover topics of

Chapter 16: Configuring IPv4 Addresses and Static Routes

For more information we suggest “CCNA 200-301, Volume 1 Official Cert Guide”

Commands Guide:
All commands in this document have this style:
# Interface gig 0/0
If any option specified with italic letters means that you must replace the key word with a desired value for example:
# ip address ip_address subnet_mask
# ip address 192.168.10.1 255.255.255.0
And finally, if we mention something in {} mean that you must use one of options
# spanning-tree vlan vlan_id root {Primary| secondary}

STATIC ROUTING

Lab Objective:

The objective of this lab exercise is to configure static routes via Ethernet interfaces
between 3 routers. This lab also goes through the validation of the configured static
routes.

Lab Purpose:

Static route configuration is a fundamental skill. There are several methods to configure
static routes on a Cisco router, and each way has its pros and cons. As a Cisco engineer,
as well as in the Cisco CCNA exam, you will be expected to know how to configure static
routes via any of the methods available in Cisco IOS.

STATIC ROUTING

Task 1:
Configure the hostnames on routers R1, R2, R3 as illustrated in the topology. And assign
addresses as mentioned in table 1.

Go to R1 and set the basic configuration as this instruction

Router>en
Router#conf ter
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Router(config)#hostname R1
R1(config)#interface gi 0/0
R1(config-if)#ip add 192.168.12.1 255.255.255.0
R1(config-if)#no shut
R1(config-if)#exit
R1(config)#interface loopback 0
R1(config-if)#1.1.1.1
R1(config-if)#ip address 1.1.1.1 255.255.255.255
R1(config-if)#end

Go to R2 and set the basic configuration as this instruction

Router#conf ter
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Router(config)#hostname R2
R2(config)#interface gi 0/0

Task 2:

STATIC ROUTING

R1 Configuration:
Due to diagram, R1 need to reach 2.2.2.2/32 and 3.3.3.3/32 and also 192.168.23.0/24
networks, all of these networks are reachable via R2. So, we have to configure 3 static
routes for R1 to make this possible. Maybe you guessed, in this specific example, we can
just do that with adding one default route to R2. for now, we prefer to define 3 separate
routes. Look at the example:

R1>en
R1#conf ter
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
R1(config)#ip route 192.168.23.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.12.2
R1(config)#ip route 2.2.2.2 255.255.255.255 192.168.12.2
R1(config)#ip route 3.3.3.3 255.255.255.255 192.168.12.2
R1(config)#

With these commands, R1 can reach for example R3 but R3 has no idea where is for
example 1.1.1.1/32 and how can reach it. So, we need to config R2 and R3 too.

Go to R2 router, and for first step check the routing table. As you can see R2 has 2
connected routes for 192.168.12.0/24 and 192.168.23.0/24. So, we need to configure 2
routes for 1.1.1.1/32 and 3.3.3.3/32

R2>en

STATIC ROUTING

R3 configuration almost is the same with R1. We need 3 routes for 1.1.1.1/32, 2.2.2.2/32
and 192.168.12.0/24. But this time lets use a default gateway instead them!

R3>en
R3#conf ter
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
R3(config)#ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.23.2
R3(config)#exit

Task 3:
After completing our configuration let’s check it with ping and traceroute commands.
We did the test just from R3, but you can do same thing from the others.

R3#ping 1.1.1.1 source 3.3.3.3

Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 1.1.1.1, timeout is 2 seconds:
Packet sent with a source address of 3.3.3.3
!!!!!
Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 4/5/7 ms
R3#traceroute 1.1.1.1 source 3.3.3.3
Type escape sequence to abort.
Tracing the route to 1.1.1.1
