Configuring static routes in cisco routers
« on: March 08, 2023, 12:22:32 AM »
Configuring static routes in Cisco routers involves identifying the network or subnet that you want to reach and specifying the next-hop router or exit interface to reach that network. Here are the steps to configure static routes in Cisco routers:

1. Identify the network or subnet that you want to reach: Determine the network or subnet you want to reach, and the IP address of the router that connects to that network.

2. Determine the exit interface or next-hop router: Decide whether you want to use a specific exit interface or a next-hop router to reach the destination network.

3. Enter global configuration mode: Type "configure terminal" or "conf t" to enter global configuration mode.

4. Enter the static route command: Use the "ip route" command to configure the static route. For example, to configure a static route to reach network 10.10.10.0/24 via next-hop router 192.168.1.1, enter the following command:

ip route 10.10.10.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.1

Alternatively, if you want to use an exit interface to reach the destination network, use the following command:

ip route 10.10.10.0 255.255.255.0 interface <interface>

Replace <interface> with the name of the exit interface.

5. Verify the static route: Use the "show ip route" command to verify that the static route is added to the routing table.

6. Save the configuration: Type "write memory" or "copy running-config startup-config" to save the configuration to the router's NVRAM.

7. Repeat these steps for each static route that you want to configure on the router.
