Building a routing table

4

There are two basic methods of building a routing

table:

1. Static Routing

2. Dynamic Routing


Static Route

5

A static routing table is created, maintained, and

updated by a network administrator, manually.

A static route to every network must be configured

on every router for full connectivity.

When a table is created, it cannot update

automatically when there is a change in the Internet.

It can be used in a small networks that does not

change very much.


How to configure a static route on the router?

6

In Static Route:

You have to configure only the remote networks (which are not directly connected to the Router) by using ip route command (in the global configuration mode).

When using the ip route command, you can identify where packets should be routed to in two ways:

The exit interface

The next-hop address


How to configure a static route on the router? Cont.

7

Using exit interface :


iP route [network address] [netmask] [exit interface]

[networkaddress] Replace it with the network address of remote network

[Exit interface] the interface that used to route the packet to the remote

network “destination”

[netmask] replace it with the mask of the network (in decimal notation)

Example :


Router 1 (in the example we have only one remote network to router 1 which is

network # 2):

iP route 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 f1/0 Router 2 (in the example we have only one remote network to router 2 which is

network # 1):

iP route 10.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 f1/0

Router 1 Router 2

10.0.0.0 /8 192.168.1.0 /24


9

Using next hub:


iP route [network address] [netmask] [next hub]

[network address] Replace it with the network address of remote network

[next hop] the IP (in decimal notation) of the next hop that used to route the

packet to the remote network “destination”

[netmask] replace it with the mask of the network (in decimal notation)


10

Example :


Router 1 (in the example we have only one remote network to router 1 which

is network # 2):

iP route 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 50.2.2.2 Router 2(in the example we have only one remote network to router 2 which

is network # 1):

iP route 10.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 50.1.1.1

Router 1 Router 2

10.0.0.0 /8 192.168.1.0 /24

Scenario # 1 11

select the Generic PC and Generic laptop under End

Devices and drag them onto the workspace)

name IP Mask

PC D 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0

laptop E 192.168.1.2 255.255.255.0

laptop G 192.168.1.3 255.255.255.0


Step 2 (Create the 2nd network) cont.

3. Drag Switch-PT to the workspace

4. Using Copper Straight-through cable connect the

devices to the switch as the following:

Device name Switch ports

D Fast Ethernet 1/1

E Fast Ethernet 2/1

G Fast Ethernet 3/1


Step 2 (Create the 2nd network) cont.

17

Then perform a ping between devices (PC and laptops) to test the

connection in realtime mode.


Step 3 (Create the 3rd network)

18

1. Drag two Generic Router-PT to the workspace

2. Using Copper Straight-through cable, connect the first

Router to the switch in the 1st network(using interface f0/0 in

the router)

3. Using Copper Straight-through cable, connect the second

Router to the switch in the 2nd network(using interface f0/0 in

the router)


4. Using Copper Cross-over cable, connect the first Router

to the second Router (using interface f1/0 in both routers)

Assign the following IPs to the router interfaces using CLI:

Router 1 :

Router 2 :

In Staitc Route:

You have to configure only the remote networks (which are not directly connected to the Router)

By using the following command in global configuration mode:

ip route [network address] [netmask] [exit interface]

OR

ip route [network address] [netmask] [next hop]

Use only one way in your topology.

Step 6 ( Static Route Configuration)

29


Static route Configuration in the two routers

[exit interface] 30


Router 1 (in the example we have only one remote network to

router 1 which is network # 2):



Static route Configuration in the two routers

[next hop] 31






Step 7 (Performing a Ping in Realtime mode)

32

Click on PC”A” “Desktop”

tap Command Prompt

Write the following command Ping 192.168.1.2


Step 8 (Showing Routing table for the first Router)

33

Use the following command to show the routing table at

privilege mode

Show ip route


Routing table explanation

34

C Identifies that the network connected directly with the router

S Identifies that the route was manually created by an administrator to

reach a specific network. This is known as a static route.

Network address of the connected network

Interface that used to route the packet to the network

Note: when you use the next hop way the IP address of the next hop will

be shown instead of the interface.


What is the Administrative Distance (AD)?

35

Each Routing protocol has Administrative Distance

as the following:


What is the Metric ?

36

A routing metric is a unit calculated by a routing algorithm for selecting or rejecting a routing path for transferring data/traffic.

Some of the parameters used for calculating a routing metric are as follows:

Hop count

Path reliability

Path speed

Load

Bandwidth

Latency

Maximum transmission unit


Why the route has the AD and metric?

37

If the Router is configured for one or more routing protocols, the Router can learn about different routes to the same destination.

In which case, the Router will prefer routes from the routing protocol with the lowest administrative distance.

If a single routing protocol provides multiple routes to the same destination, the router will then look at the metric of each of those routes, and select the one with the lowest metric.

Lowest administrative distance first, then lowest metric.
