static routing configuration

Before we go through the static routing configuration lets have a look why static routing is important and what is it's use.As you know static routing is most secure  routing configuration.With the help of static routing a network administrator can configure each router with all appropriate routes.Static routing provides much control over how packets are passed through a network. And most important thing about static routing is that as we know routers are configured manually, so there are no routing protocols for hacker to manipulate.The only drawback of static routing is that it is not good for frequent route change.

Now let's concentrate on main motive of this article:

Explanation of Static Routing Configuration Using Diagram:

In above example

• 30.0.0.0 is the destination network
  255.0.0.0 is the subnet mask
  20.0.0.2 is the next hop IP

• ip address 20.0.0.1 255.0.0.0 is used to assign ip address and subnett mask on router interface.
• command int se0/0/0 order router configuration mode to shift on Serial Port 0/0/0.
• command int fa0/0 means Fast Etherenet port 0/0.
• no shut command is used to up the network or can say to up the interface,because the network by default the port is down.
• command clock rate 64000 is used to set clock rate on DCE device.
• ip route 30.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 20.0.0.2 tells the router about the other network present and which is directly not connected with that router.

How to configure Default Route?

To configure Default Route go to global configuration mode and type the following ios command.

• Router(config)#ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 default_gateway [administrative_distance]

OR

• Router(config)# ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 interface_to_exit [administrative_distance]

If you want to make this Default Route configuration Permanent then use the keyword permanent at last.

• Router(config)#ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 default_gateway [administrative_distance] [permanent]

OR

• Router(config)# ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 interface_to_exit [administrative_distance] [permanent]
