Static Routing
This is a static routing lab in which we will learn how to configure static routing for a network having three routers inside Cisco Packet Tracer.
Here in this Lab there are three 1841 Routers and a total of four network:
-
1.0.0.0/8
-
2.0.0.0/8
-
3.0.0.0/8
-
4.0.0.0/8
Figure 1 illustrates how the setup should look.

Step:1 - Configuration on Router R1
Assign an IP address on interfaces of router R1.
Router>enable
Router# config terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Router(config)# int fa0/0
Router(config-if)# ip address 1.0.0.1 255.0.0.0
Router(config-if)# no shut
Router(config-if)# exit
Router(config)# int fa0/1
Router(config-if)# ip address 2.0.0.1 255.0.0.0
Router(config-if)# no shut
Step:2 - Configure Static Routing on Router R1
Router>exit
Router#config terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Router(config)#ip route 3.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 2.0.0.2
Router(config)#ip route 4.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 2.0.0.2
Step:3 - Configuration on Router R2
Router>exit
Router#config terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Router(config)#int fa0/0
Router(config-if)#ip address 2.0.0.2 255.0.0.0
Router(config-if)#no shut
Router(config-if)#exit
Router(config)#int fa0/1
Router(config-if)#ip address 3.0.0.1 255.0.0.0
Router(config-if)#no shut
Step:4 - Configure Static Routing on Router R2
Router>enable
Router#config terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Router(config)#ip route 1.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 2.0.0.1
Router(config)#ip route 4.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 3.0.0.2
Step:5 - Configuration on Router R3
Router>enable
Router#config terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Router(config)#int fa0/1
Router(config-if)#ip address 3.0.0.2 255.0.0.0
Router(config-if)#no shut
Router(config-if)#exit
Router(config)#int fa0/0
Router(config-if)#ip address 4.0.0.1 255.0.0.0
Router(config-if)#no shut
Step:6 - Configure Static Routing on Router R3
Router>exit
Router#config terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Router(config)#ip route 2.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 3.0.0.1
Router(config)#ip route 1.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 3.0.0.1
Step:7 - ping and tracert PC0 to PC1
Replace #.#.#.#. with the appropirate IP addresses
Step:8 – Expand Network
-
Add another PC off of Router 2 in the Figure 1 and put it on network 5.0.0.0
-
Make it so that only PC on 4.0.0.2 can communication with the new PC on 5.0.0.0, remember this will be two way communication. There should be no route to 1.0.0.# through 2.0.0.#.

Step:9 – Expand Network Again
Add another Router and PC with a network of 6.0.0.0 off Router 3 and make it so that this new Router 4 allows communication between 1.0.0.# and 6.0.0.# only. No other PC can communicate to 6.0.0.0.
