Static Routing
Static routing is a form of routing that occurs when a router uses a manually-
configured routing entry, rather than information from a dynamic routing traffic.

Routers forward packets using either route information from route table entries that you
manually configure or the route information that is calculated using dynamic routing algorithms.

IP route command is used to configure the static route. In this article we will explain IP
route command and its parameters in details. Static routing is useful in small network where
numbers of routes are limited. In static routing we need to add route manually with IP route
command. Like other routing methods static routing also has its pros and cons.

Advantage of static routing

 It is easy to implement.

 It is most secure way of routing, since no information is shared with other routers.

 It puts no overhead on resources such as CPU or memory.

Disadvantage of static routing

 It is suitable only for small network.

 If a link fails static route cannot reroute the traffic.

Static routes, which define explicit paths between two routers, cannot be automatically
updated; you must manually reconfigure static routes when network changes occur. Static routes
use less bandwidth than dynamic routes. No CPU cycles are used to calculate and analyze
routing updates.

You can supplement dynamic routes with static routes where appropriate. You can
redistribute static routes into dynamic routing algorithms but you cannot redistribute routing
information calculated by dynamic routing algorithms into the static routing table.

You should use static routes in environments where network traffic is predictable and
where the network design is simple. You should not use static routes in large, constantly
changing networks because static routes cannot react to network changes. Most networks use
dynamic routes to communicate between routers but might have one or two static routes
configured for special cases. Static routes are also useful for specifying a gateway of last resort
(a default router to which all unroutable packets are sent).

Step # 02

Assigning IP address on Fast Ethernet interface of router

Router (config) #int fastEthernet 0/0

Router (config-if) #ip address 172.16.10.1 255.255.255.0

Router (config-if) #no shutdown

Note: Repeat above steps on all Fast Ethernet interfaces of all routers

Step # 03

Assigning IP address on serial interface of router

Router(config)#int serial 0/1/0

Router(config-if)#ip address 172.16.20.1 255.255.255.0

Router(config-if)#no shutdown

Router(config-if)#clock rate 56000

Router(config-if)#exit

Note: Repeat above steps on all serial interfaces of all routers

Note: Clock rate will only be set to DCE end of serial connection but not on DTE end.

Step # 04

Assigning IP address on PCs

Go to Desktop  IP configuration and enter the following:

IP address  172.16.10.2

Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0

Default Gateway 172.16.10.1

Note: Repeat above steps on all PCs

Step #05

Apply static Routing on Routers

Router (config)ip route destination network subnet mask next- hop

Router (config)#ip route 172.16.30.0 255.255.255.0 172.16.20.2

Note: Repeat above steps on all routers

Step # 06

Verify connectivity among different users (Use ping command)

Note: Repeat above steps on all PCs

Exercise:

Using 192.168.10.0/28 IP address design 10 networks with minimum five users in each network
and apply static routing. Make a table of all IP addresses of routers and PCs as given in this
experiment.
