Packet Tracer Activity Guide: Static Routing Lab
Objective
Configure static routing between three routers so all PCs can communicate.
Devices Needed
• 3 Routers
• 3 Switches
• 6 PCs
Step 1: Build the Network
Place devices and connect:
PCs → Switches
Switches → Routers
Routers → Routers
Step 2: Assign IP Addresses
Assign IPs to all PCs and router interfaces based on the given network plan.
Step 3: Configure Router Interfaces
Enter CLI:
interface g0/0
ip address [IP] [MASK]
no shutdown
Step 4: Add Static Routes
Use command:
ip route [destination network] [mask] [next hop]
Step 5: Verify Routing Table
Use command:
show ip route
Step 6: Test Connectivity
Use ping from one PC to another in a different network.
Troubleshooting Tips
• Check IP addresses
• Ensure interfaces are up
• Verify next-hop addresses
