Basic static route configuration example

The IP addresses and masks of the switches and hosts are displayed here. Static routes are required for interconnection between any two hosts.

Procedure
  1. Configure IP addresses for interfaces (details not shown).
  2. Configure static routes.
    1. Configure a default route on Switch A.
      6300# config
      6300(config)#
      <SwitchA> config
      [SwitchA] ip route 0.0.0.0/0 1.1.4.2
    2. Configure two static routes on Switch B.
      <SwitchB> config
      [SwitchB] ip route 1.1.2.0/24 1.1.4.1
      [SwitchB] ip route 1.1.3.0/24 1.1.5.6
    3. Configure a default route on Switch C.
      6300# config
      6300(config)#
      [SwitchC] ip route 0.0.0.0/0 1.1.5.5
  3. Configure the hosts. The default gateways for hosts A, B, and C are 1.1.2.3, 1.1.6.1, and 1.1.3.1. The configuration procedure is not shown.
  4. Display the configuration.
    1. Display the IP routing table of Switch A.
    2. Display the IP routing table of Switch B.
    3. Use the ping command on Host B to check the reachability of Host A, assuming Windows XP runs on the two hosts.
      C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>ping 1.1.2.2
      Pinging 1.1.2.2 with 32 bytes of data:

      Ping statistics for 1.1.2.2:
      Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss),
      Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
      Minimum = 1ms, Maximum = 1ms, Average = 1ms
    4. Use the traceroute command on Host B to check the reachability of Host A.
      8320# traceroute
      traceroute  Trace the IPv4 route to a device on the network
      traceroute6 Trace the IPv6 route to a device on the network
      8320# traceroute
      A.B.C.D Enter IPv4 address of the device to traceroute
      WORD  Enter host name oo fthe device to traceroute
      8320# traceroute
