6.1.3 Configuring static routes
Use the following steps to configure static routes:
1. Determine all desired destination networks, their subnet masks, and their gateways. A
gateway can be either a local interface or a next hop address that leads to the desired
destination.
2. Enter global configuration mode.
3. Type
the
ip route
command with the address and subnet mask of the destination
followed by their corresponding gateway from Step 1. An administrative distance is
optional.
4. Repeat Step 3 for as many destination networks as were defined in Step 1.
5. Exit global configuration mode.
6. Save the active configuration to NVRAM by using the
copy running-config
startup-config
command.
Here is an example of a route from Rt1 to network 192.168.2.0.
Rt1#
config terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Rt1(config)#
ip route 192.168.2.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.2
Rt1(config)#
exit
Rt1#
Rt1#
copy running-config startup-config
Destination filename [startup-config]?
Building configuration...
Rt1#
All routers must be configured. If Rt2 does not have a route back to network 192.168.0.0, a
ping from network 192.168.0.0 will make it to network 192.168.2.0, but will not know how to
get back. A relevant TI from CCNA 2 v2.1.4 is 12.1.4.
