Assignment 2 Lab (Static Routing) - Solution
Objective
Create the given topology in Packet Tracer, configure device IP addresses, apply static routing and
verify connectivity between all networks. The report below shows a clean, student-style solution.
Topology overview
This topology uses three routers (Router0, Router1, Router2), two switches for the LANs and four end
devices (PCs / Laptops). Router connections use serial links for inter-router connectivity. The IP
addressing plan used in this solution is:
Network / Device IP Address Subnet Mask Default Gateway
Left LAN - PC0 [Link] [Link] [Link]
Left LAN - PC1 [Link] [Link] [Link]
Center LAN - PC2 [Link] [Link] [Link]
Center LAN - Laptop [Link] [Link] [Link]
Right LAN - Laptop1 [Link] [Link] [Link]
Right LAN - Laptop2 [Link] [Link] [Link]
Router interfaces and IP addresses
Use the following interface assignments when configuring routers in Packet Tracer.
Router0 (left):
enable
configure terminal
interface FastEthernet0/0
ip address [Link] [Link]
no shutdown
exit
interface Serial0/0/0
ip address [Link] [Link]
no shutdown
exit
end
write
Router1 (center):
enable
configure terminal
interface Serial0/0/0
ip address [Link] [Link]
no shutdown
exit
interface Serial0/0/1
ip address [Link] [Link]
no shutdown
exit
interface FastEthernet0/0
ip address [Link] [Link]
no shutdown
exit
end
write
Router2 (right):
enable
configure terminal
interface Serial0/0/1
ip address [Link] [Link]
no shutdown
exit
interface FastEthernet0/0
ip address [Link] [Link]
no shutdown
exit
end
write
Static routing configuration
Add these static routes so each router knows how to reach remote LANs.
On Router0 (left):
ip route [Link] [Link] [Link]
ip route [Link] [Link] [Link]
On Router1 (center):
ip route [Link] [Link] [Link]
ip route [Link] [Link] [Link]
On Router2 (right):
ip route [Link] [Link] [Link]
ip route [Link] [Link] [Link]
End device configuration (example)
Set IP address and default gateway on each PC/Laptop using the IP Configuration tool in Packet
Tracer.
Device IP Mask Gateway
PC0 (left) [Link] [Link] [Link]
PC1 (left) [Link] [Link] [Link]
PC2 (center) [Link] [Link] [Link]
Laptop (center) [Link] [Link] [Link]
Laptop1 (right) [Link] [Link] [Link]
Laptop2 (right) [Link] [Link] [Link]
Verification
1. From PC0 ([Link]) try: ping [Link] and ping [Link] 2. From a right-side laptop try:
ping [Link] If replies are received, static routing is working correctly.
Notes and common troubleshooting
- Make sure serial interfaces are connected using correct DCE/DTE (add clock rate on DCE side if
required). - Check 'no shutdown' on all interfaces. - Verify routes with 'show ip route' on each router. -
Use 'show ip interface brief' to confirm interface IPs and status.
