Packet Tracer - Configuring IPv4 Static and Default Routes
Background
In this activity, you will configure static and default routes. A static route is a route that is entered manually by
the network administrator to create a reliable and safe route. There are four different static routes that are
used in this activity: a recursive static route, a directly attached static route, a fully specified static route, and a
default route.
Part 1: Examine the Network and Evaluate the Need for Static Routing
a. Looking at the topology diagram, how many networks are there in total? 5
b. How many networks are directly connected to R1, R2, and R3? R1 has 2, R2 has 3, and R3 has 2.
c. How many static routes are required by each router to reach networks that are not directly connected? R1
needs 3 static routes, R2 needs 2 static routes, and R3 needs 3 static routes.
d. Test connectivity to the R2 and R3 LANs by pinging PC2 and PC3 from PC1.
Why were you unsuccessful? Because there are no routes to these networks on R1.
