LAB 07: STATIC ROUTING
Task 7.1 – Develop a Topology with Static Routing
1. Description:
Static routing is a type of routing in which the network administrator manually configures the
routing table on routers to specify the paths packets should take to reach specific destinations.
Unlike dynamic routing, which automatically adjusts routes based on changes in the network,
static routing remains fixed unless manually updated.

2. Key Characteristics of Static Routing:


 Manually Configured: Routes are added, updated, or removed manually by the network
administrator.
 No Overhead: Does not consume router CPU or memory for route calculation, as there are
no dynamic algorithms involved.
 Fixed Path: The path to a destination remains constant unless explicitly modified by the
administrator.
 Best for Small or Simple Networks: Suitable for small, predictable networks where routes
do not change frequently.

3. Advantages of Static Routing:


 Control: The administrator has complete control over the routing paths.
 Low Resource Usage: Does not require resources to exchange routing information, as in
dynamic routing protocols.
 Predictability: The path is pre-defined, so it is less likely to change unexpectedly.
 Security: Less susceptible to routing table manipulation or routing protocol attacks.

4. Disadvantages of Static Routing:


 Scalability: Becomes difficult to manage, as the network grows larger.
 No Adaptability: Cannot adapt to network failures or topology changes without manual
intervention.
 Administrative Overhead: Changes in the network require manual updates, which can be
time-consuming.

5. When to Use Static Routing:


 Small networks with limited devices and paths.
 When routes do not change frequently or the topology is stable.
 For backup routes to override dynamic routing in specific scenarios.
 In networks requiring strict control over routing paths.
6. Topology:
We have created a topology which consists of 3 Routers, 2 Switches and 4 PCs. As Router0,
Router1, and Router2 are interconnected using GigabitEthernet links. They are responsible for
routing traffic between the connected subnets. PC0 and PC1 on left side connected to Switch0
via Ethernet (Fa0/2 and Fa0/3) and Switch0 connects to Router0 via FastEthernet. Similarly, PC2
and PC3 on right side connected to Switch1 via Ethernet (Fa0/2 and Fa0/3) and Switch0 connects
to Router0 via FastEthernet.

Considering an above given topology for After setting up static routing


Static Routing

7. Steps:

Configuration of IPs on both ports of Router0 Configuration of IPs on both ports of Router1
using CLI using CLI
Configuration of IPs on both ports of Router2 Assigning IP to the PC0. In similar way assign
using CLI IP to PC1, PC2, and PC3 respectively

Assigning static IP address to the PC1 Assigning static IP address to the PC2
Assigning static IP address to the PC3 As by command we can see the IP route table of
particular Router0, to identify which networks
are missing

Adding other two networks 12.0.0.0 and 13.0.0.0 As we can see that the other two networks are
to the route table of Router0. Similarly, do it for also available in Router0 route table
Router1 and Router2
As by command we can see the IP route table of Adding other two networks 10.0.0.0 and 13.0.0.0
particular Router1, to identify which networks to the route table of Router1
are missing

As we can see that the other two networks are As by command we can see the IP route table of
also available in Router1 route table particular Router2, to identify which networks
are missing
Adding other two networks 10.0.0.0 and 11.0.0.0 As we can see that the other two networks are
to the route table of Router2 also available in Router2 route table

As we’ve tried to ping PC2 having IP Address 13.0.0.2 from PC0 having IP Address 10.0.0.1, and
we’ve received the Ping Statistics for 13.0.0.2. As shown above
