LAB # 5: Implementation of Static Routing
Objectives
Upon completion of this lab, you will be able to:
Static Routing and Dynamic Routing
Configurations of static Routing
Document the network implementation
Pre-Lab Exercise
Read this experiment in its entirety to become familiar with objectives of this lab. Study in detail
and become familiar with Static Routing basics provided with this laboratory experiment. You
may record the terms and sections that require more elaboration for reference. The instructor may
provide the class some time to reflect upon these before proceeding with the lab.
Static Routing
Network administrators use static routing, or non adaptive routing, to define a route when there
is a single route or a preferred route for traffic to reach a destination. Static routing uses small
routing tables with only one entry for each destination.
Dynamic Routing
Dynamic routing is when protocols are used to find networks and update routing tables on
routers. This is whole lot easier than using static or default routing, but it will cost you in terms
of router CPU processing and bandwidth on network links. A routing protocol defines the set of
rules used by a router when it communicates routing information between neighboring routers.
Dynamic routing is further divided into two types as:
In-Lab Exercise
In this lab activity, you will create a network that is similar to the one shown in the Topology
Diagram. Begin by cabling the network as shown in the Figure 4.1. Assign any Network ID from
Class A and C and fill in the table. You will then perform the initial router configurations
required for connectivity. Use the IP addresses according to your IP assignment. First test the
connections between directly connected devices, and then test connectivity between devices that
are not directly connected. You will configure the static routing. View the routing table after
each static route is added to observe how the routing table has changed.

Task 1: Perform Basic Router Configuration
Draw the topology diagram on Cisco Packet Tracer. Perform basic configuration on all three
routers i.e. assigning IP on LAN and WAN links and other necessary administrative
configurations.
Task 2: Configure IP Addressing on the Host
PCs Task 3: Test and Verify the Configurations
Task 3: check the Routing table
Show ip route command is used to check the routing table
Command works in privilege mode
Do show ip route is used in configuration mode.
Task 4: Configure Static Routing
To configure Static Route, use the following syntax:
Enable the static routing in router use ip route destination network address subnet mask next hop
interface ip address.
Task 5: Enable Static Routing on Router 1
Step 1: Run following command.
R1(config)#ip route destination network address subnet mask next hop interface ip address
R1(config)#ip route destination network address subnet mask next hop interface ip address
R1(config)#ip route destination network address subnet mask next hop interface ip address
Task 6: Enable Static Routing on Router 2
Step 2: Run following command.
R2(config)#ip route destination network address subnet mask next hop interface ip address
R2(config)#ip route destination network address subnet mask next hop interface ip address
Task 7: Enable RIPv1 on Router 3
Step 3: Run following command.
R3(config)#ip route destination network address subnet mask next hop interface ip address
R3(config)#ip route destination network address subnet mask next hop interface ip address
R3(config)#ip route destination network address subnet mask next hop interface ip address
Task 8: Test and verify the routes
Step 1: View the routing table to verify the new route entries
Run show ip route command on each router write down your observations.
