How to configure static routes on Cisco routers?

You can configure two types of routing on the router- static and dynamic to send the traffic to destination. Static route tell the network devices about exact location (hard-coded destination). Static routers can work well with small network but in large scale network dynamic routing is the best choice. Configure static routes between routers to allow data transfer between routers without the use of dynamic routing protocols.

From the global configuration mode, configure the hostname then configure the console and enable passwords on each router.

To configure static routes, first enter global configuration mode to run the following commands.

Configure the Static Routes on Router A.

First run the command show ip route to view the IP routing table for router A before defining static routes

RouterA#configure terminal (enter in global configuration mode)

RouterA(config)#ip route 15.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 10.1.1.2 (define static routing on Router A)

RouterA(config)#ip route 193.168.2.0 255.255.255.0 10.1.1.2 (define static routing on Router A)

RouterA(config)#ip route 193.168.3.0 255.255.255.0 20.1.1.2 (define static routing on Router A)

RouterA(config)#exit

RouterA#

Now run the command show ip route on router A to view the IP routing table (directly connected + static routes) detail.

Configure the Static Routes on Router B.

First run the command show ip route to view the IP routing table for router B before defining static routes

RouterB#configure terminal (enter in global configuration mode)

RouterB(config)#ip route 20.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 10.1.1.1 (define static routing on Router B)

RouterB(config)#ip route 193.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 10.1.1.1 (define static routing on Router B)

RouterB(config)#ip route 193.168.3.0 255.255.255.0 15.1.1.2 (define static routing on Router B)

RouterB(config)#exit

RouterB#

Now run the command show ip route on router B to view the IP routing table (directly connected + static routes) detail.

Configure the Static Routes on Router C.

First run the command show ip route to view the IP routing table for router C before defining static routes

RouterC#configure terminal (enter in global configuration mode)

RouterC(config)#ip route 10.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 15.1.1.1 (define static routing on Router C)

RouterC(config)#ip route 193.168.2.0 255.255.255.0 15.1.1.1 (define static routing on Router C)

RouterC(config)#ip route 193.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 20.1.1.2 (define static routing on Router C)

RouterC(config)#exit

RouterC#

Now run the command show ip route on router C to view the IP routing table (directly connected + static routes) detail.

How to configure RIP v2 step by step? RIP short for "Routing Information Protocol" is a routing protocol used to select the suitable route for packets with in network.

How to configure VLAN on a Cisco Switch? VLAN stands for virtual LAN and technically we can say, a VLAN is a broadcast domain created by switch. When managing a switch, the management domain is always VLAN 1, the default VLAN.

How to configure VTP Client and Server? VTP (VLAN Trunking Protocol) is the protocol that propagates the information about which VLANs exist from one switch to another switch.

How to configure Trunking between VLANs with 802.1q? Trunk link is used to carry the different VLANs traffic on a single link. There are two different protocols are used for Ethernet trunking, 802. 1q and ISL.

How to configure Trunking between VLANs with ISL? Trunking is a technique to carry different VLAN traffic using point to point link between two devices.
