Lab 9
Configuring Default Static Route
Learning Objectives:
In this Lab students will learn to configure default static route on Cisco routers to ensure end-
to-end connectivity between PC0 and PC1
Physical Topology:
Background:
Router0 does not have a route to a remote unknown network 172.16.5.0 which is a Router 2
LAN. Router 2 also have no routes back to Router 0 LAN which is 172.16.6.0 Default route will
be configured on Router 0 and Router 2 to access the unknown networks
Step 1: Configuring Router Interfaces
a) Configure Router 0, Router 1 and Router23 as follows
Router 0:
Fe0/0: 172.16.6.1 255.255.255.0
S1/0: 10.1.1.1 255.255.255.0
Router 1:
S1/0: 10.1.1.2 255.255.255.0
S1/1: 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0
Router 2:
Fe0/0: 172.16.5.1 255.255.255.0
S1/0: 192.168.1.2 255.255.255.0
b) Configure DCE clock rate 64000 on serial interface of Router 0 and Router 2 using the following
command
Router 1#conf t
Router 1(config)#clock rate 64000
Router 1(config)#exit
c) Check the routing table on all routers using “show ip route” command. What routes are
showing up in each router
Router 0 _____________________
Router 1 _____________________
Router 2 _____________________
Step 2: Configure IP address and default Gateway on both computers
PC 0:
IP Address 172.16.6.2
Gateway: 172.16.6.1
PC 1:
IP Address: 172.16.5.2
Gateway: 172.16.5.1
a) Ping PC0 > PC1
b) Are you able to PING? What’s the ping result
Step 3: Configuring Static IP Route on Router 1 to both LAN’s
Router(config)#ip route 172.16.6.0 255.255.255.0 Serial 1/0
Router(config)#ip route 172.16.5.0 255.255.255.0 Serial 1/1
a) Ping PC0 > PC1. Are you able to PING? ______
Step 3: Configuring Default Static Route on Router 0 and Router 2
Router0(config)# ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 Serial1/0
Router2(config)# ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 Serial1/0
a) PING PC0 > PC1. Are you able to ping? ______
b) Check the routing table and write down the entries for each router
Router 0 _______________
Router 1 _______________
Router 2 _______________
