Lab 32:
Configuring Static Routing via IP addresses
Lab Objective:
The objective of this lab exercise is to configure static routes via next hop IP addresses on interfaces connected to a switch on two routers. This lab also goes through the validation of the configured static routes.
Lab Purpose:
Static route configuration is a fundamental skill. There are several methods to configure static routes on a Cisco router, and each way has its pros and cons. As a Cisco engineer, as well as in the Cisco CCNA exam, you will be expected to know how to configure static routes via any of the methods available in Cisco IOS.
Certification Level:
This lab is suitable for both CCENT and CCNA certification exam preparation
Lab Difficulty:
This lab has a difficulty rating of 5/10
Readiness Assessment:
When you are ready for your certification exam, you should complete this lab in no more than 15 minutes
Lab Topology:
Please use the following topology to complete this lab exercise:
Task 1:
Configure the hostnames on routers R1, R2, and Sw1 as illustrated in the topology.
Task 2:
Configure Sw2 as a VTP sever and configure VLAN 10 named STATIC. Assign ports FastEthernet0/1 and FastEthernet0/2 to this VLAN.
Task 3:
Configure IP addresses 172.27.32.1/30 and 172.27.32.2/30 on R1 and R2 Fa0/0 interfaces respectively. In addition to that configure the Loopback interfaces on R1 with the IP addresses in the topology.
Task 4:
Configure static routes via the next hop IP address of 172.27.32.1 on R2 to all the subnets configured on the Loopback addresses previously configured on R1. Verify your static route configuration. Ping each Loopback interface configured on R1 from R2 to validate your static route configuration.
