Static and Default Route Configuration Guide

The document summarizes the steps to configure static and default routes on routers R1, R2, and R3. It involves: 1) Configuring IP addresses and testing basic connectivity between the routers. 2) Configuring static routes on R2 to reach networks behind R3, and testing the routes work. 3) Configuring backup static routes on R2 in case the primary routes fail. 4) Configuring a default route on R1 to reach the network behind R3, and testing connectivity works over the new default route.

Module 4 Routing Configuration
Lab 4-1 Configuring Static Routes and Default Routes

Step 1 Perform basic system and IP address configuration

Configure the device names and IP addresses for R1, R2, and R3.

1
Run the display current-configuration command to check the configuration.

2
3
Use the ping command to test network connectivity from R1

4
Use the ping command to test network connectivity from R2

Step 1 Test connectivity

Use the ping command to test network connectivity from R2 to networks


[Link]/24 and [Link]/24

5
Run the display ip routing-table command to view the routing table of R2. The
routing table does not contain the routes of the two networks.

Step 2 Configure static routes on R2.

Configure a static route

6
Step 2 Configure backup static routes.

Step 3

Test the static routes.

View the current static route configuration in the routing table of R2.

7
Test network connectivity to ensure the route between R2 and R3 exists.

8
The tracert command can also be run to view the path over which the data is
transferred.

Step 4 Test the backup static routes.

Disable the path to [Link] via GigabitEthernet0/0/2 on R2 and observe the


changes in the IP routing tables.

9
Compare the routing tables with the previous routing tables before Gigabit
Ethernet 0/0/2 was disabled.

10
11
Test connectivity between R2 and the destination addresses [Link] and [Link]
on R2.

The tracert command can also be run to view through over which path the data is
being forwarded.

12
Step 5 Using default routes to implement network connectivity.

Enable the interface that was disabled in step 6 on R2.

Verify connectivity to the network [Link] from R1.

R3 cannot be reached because the route destined for [Link] is not configured on
R1.

13
A default route can be configured on R1 to implement network connectivity via a
next hop of [Link].

After the configuration is complete, test connectivity between R1 and [Link]

14
Step 6 Configure a backup default route.

Step 7 Test the backup default route.

View the routes of R1 when the link between R1 and R3 is operational.

15
Compare the current routes with the routes before Gigabit Ethernet 0/0/0 was
disabled.

16
Test network connectivity on R1.
