Lab Task: Configuration of Static Routing
In this lab you’ll configure static routing on Router 0 and Router 1 in order
to make communication between devices from different networks possible.
Let’s get started.
Place 2 routers and 2 switches and connect couple of end devices (PC) with
the switches. Connect the devices together
using the ‘Automatically Choose Connection Type’ cable as shown in the
image below.
Step 1: Configure IP Address [Link] on interface fa 0/0 and IP address
[Link] on interface fa 0/1 of Router 0 and IP Address [Link] on
interface fa 0/0 and IP address [Link] on interface fa 0/1 of Router 1

Get into the IOS Command Line Interface of Router0 and say no when asked
if you would like to enter the initial configuration dialog on the Router.
Press Return to get started, then enter the Privileged Exec mode.
Router>enable
Router#
Enter Global Configuration mode.
Router#configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Router(config)#
Change the hostname to ‘Router_A’.
Router(config)#hostname Router_A
Router_A(config)#
Follow the same steps on Router1 and change the hostname to ‘Router_B’.
Commands to configure IP Addresses on Router0’s interfaces:
Router_A(config)#interface fa 0/0
Router_A(config-if)#ip address [Link] [Link]

Router_A(config-if)#no shutdown
Router_A(config-if)#exit
Router_A(config)#interface fa 0/1
Router_A(config-if)#ip address [Link] [Link]
Router_A(config-if)#no shutdown
Router_A(config-if)#exit
Router_A(config)#
Commands to configure IP Addresses on Router1’s interfaces :
Router_B(config)#interface fa 0/0
Router_B(config-if)#ip address [Link] [Link]
Router_B(config-if)#no shutdown
Router_B(config-if)#exit
Router_B(config)#interface fa 0/1
Router_B(config-if)#ip address [Link] [Link]
Router_B(config-if)#no shutdown
Router_B(config-if)#exit
Configure DHCP pools for network [Link] and [Link] on Router0
and Router1 respectively. Assign IP addresses to the PCs with the help of
DHCP

Verify the routes available there in Router by running ‘show ip route’ in the
Privileged
Exec mode of both of the Routers.
Router_A#show ip route
Codes: L - local, C - connected, S - static, R - RIP, M - mobile, B - BGP
D - EIGRP, EX - EIGRP external, O - OSPF, IA - OSPF inter area
N1 - OSPF NSSA external type 1, N2 - OSPF NSSA external type 2 E1 - OSPF external
type 1, E2 - OSPF external type 2, E - EGP
i - IS-IS, L1 - IS-IS level-1, L2 - IS-IS level-2, ia - IS-IS inter area
* - candidate default, U - per-user static route, o - ODR P - periodic downloaded static
route
Gateway of last resort is not set
[Link]/24 is variably subnetted, 2 subnets, 2 masks
C [Link]/24 is directly connected, FastEthernet0/0
L [Link]/32 is directly connected, FastEthernet0/0
[Link]/24 is variably subnetted, 2 subnets, 2 masks

C [Link]/24 is directly connected, FastEthernet0/1
L [Link]/32 is directly connected, FastEthernet0/1
Now you’ll configure static route of network [Link] with a next hop
address on Router0 and similarly a staticroute of network [Link] will
be configured on Router1 to make communication between devices
possible.
Go to the Global Configuration mode of Router0 and run the following
command to add the Route to [Link] into the routing table of
Router0:
Router_A(config)#ip route [Link] [Link] [Link]
Now, let’s add the route to [Link] into the routing table of Router1 :
Router_B(config)#ip route [Link] [Link] [Link]
Verify the updates into the Routing Table of Routers.
Router_A#show ip route
[Link]/24 is variably subnetted, 2 subnets, 2 masks
C [Link]/24 is directly connected, FastEthernet0/0
L [Link]/32 is directly connected, FastEthernet0/0
S [Link]/24 [1/0] via [Link]
[Link]/24 is variably subnetted, 2 subnets, 2 masks
C [Link]/24 is directly connected, FastEthernet0/1
L [Link]/32 is directly connected, FastEthernet0/1
We can observe that route to network [Link] is successfully added to
the Routing table of Router0 and [Link] in the routing table of
Router1.

Verify the data transmission between PC0 and PC2 Click on PC0 and open
the Command Prompt.
Ping from PC0 to PC2 should be successful. Go to the Command Prompt and
perform the command ‘ping [Link]’
C:\>ping [Link]
Pinging [Link] with 32 bytes of data:
Reply from [Link]: bytes=32 time=1ms TTL=126
Reply from [Link]: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=126

Ping statistics for [Link]:
Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss),
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
Minimum = 0ms, Maximum = 1ms, Average = 0ms
As PC0 is getting reply from PC2, this confirms that PCs are able to
communicate with each other. Try pinging from/to the rest of the PCs.
